About me: As a dynamic finance professional from Pakistan, I combine traditional financial expertise with cutting-edge analytics. Holding a bachelors in Accounting and Finance, I have enhanced my skillset with the prestigious CFA exams and a masters in Business Analytics, positioning myself at the intersection of finance and data science.

Three topics I can be approached about: Global financial markets; corporate finance and valuations; social impact and sustainable finance initiatives.
