Who I am

Self-assured and resourceful Business Management graduate who is passionate about learning, especially in Maths and Business. Adept at multitasking, problem-solving and communicating with a wide range of stakeholders, and fluent in English and Urdu.

I have led groups, collaborated across teams and worked on impactful projects, from society leadership to live client briefs. Now I want to put marketing, business operations and human resource management into practice, and keep learning and growing professionally while I do it.

Presenting to clients
01

Step up when a group stalls

When a group project lacked communication, I took charge as group leader, got everyone meeting and assigned the tasks.

02

Keep the whole team in the loop

On promotion calls at the clinic, the entire team had to know who was called and what was said. Shared context avoids mistakes.

03

Stay until it is resolved

Refunds, returns and appointment changes get worked through until a satisfactory outcome is reached, not just handed off.

04

Keep learning

Three job simulations, a Level 5 diploma and PwC's Insight Week alongside a First Class degree. Learning does not stop at graduation.
