Biography

Tasnuva Tazin (Eva) was born in Chattogram, Bangladesh, a tourist destination for people from other cities. With an explorer’s mind, Eva also wanted to travel. After high school, she moved to the capital, Dhaka, where she earned her undergraduate degree and first master's in Journalism and Media Studies from Jahangirnagar University. Feminist communication theories fascinated her during her studies at JU. Her favorite ones are Genderlect Theory and Muted Group Theory. She did a study on Impacts of Absenteeism During Menstruation using Muted Group theory.

Eva had the opportunity to explore different professional fields before coming back to school. She began working as a Bengali interpreter during her undergrad and since then has worked with different organizations like the US Embassy, Canadian High Commission, World Bank, Interpol and so on. Being an interpreter allowed her to witness different intercultural communication styles. She later held different roles in organizations such as Dhaka Tribune, Forewarn Bangladesh, and Teach For Bangladesh. Among everything she has tried, teaching always attracted Eva more than anything else. Even when she was working as an interpreter, she enjoyed it for its nature of being similar to teaching.

Currently she is studying international graduate students' classroom experience in US higher education institutions. Eva is also interested in Social Media study as well as filmmaking.  Her paper The Use of Communication Theories in Studies on Social Media Influencers and Followers’ Mental Health got accepted at NCA annual convention 2026, and her short film Unparalleled got selected at VisComm 40 in 2026.

Eva loves green and being in nature. Her hobby is to try out new things, and most recent hobby she found is paddle boarding in Horsetooth.
