What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply finance, data analysis, and project management skills to practical business or social-impact work, contributing to informed decisions, efficient operations, and measurable initiatives.

I've managed budgeting, expense tracking, vendor payments, cash flow planning, and financial reporting for Mehr O Maah, helping inform pricing, inventory, marketing, and seasonal launches.

As a Finance Intern at Sarim Burney Trust International, I processed donations, maintained financial records, and supported reconciliations for transparent reporting. I also developed a financial and marketing model for a Saint James customization concept during a summer exchange at EM Normandie Business School.

Alongside finance, I apply statistical analysis and research to social and academic questions, from language change and climate education to child begging in Karachi. I also lead sustainability initiatives as COO of IBA Go Green Society, including TerraFest and a 200-volunteer beach cleanup.
