Hello! 👋 I'm Maria Munawar, a finance enthusiast on a journey of continuous learning and growth. 📈Education: I pursued my Bachelor's degree in Accounting & Finance at the Institute of Business Administration (IBA), Karachi, where I currently hold a CGPA of 3.59. My commitment to excellence has earned me a spot on the Dean's List. 📚🎓Professional Journey: I recently was making strides as an Audit Associate at A. F. Ferguson & Co, where I've been entrusted with the responsibility of ensuring compliance and accuracy in financial audits. 📊💼Previously, I explored the world of premium beauty products at Unilever, where I conducted market research and devised strategies to drive premiumization. At Engro Corporation, I played a pivotal role in procurement, enhancing supplier relationships and optimizing costs. 🌟My internship at Ezzi Engineering honed my skills in supply chain coordination and data management, while at EFU General Insurance, I worked on credit rating preparations and improved operational efficiency. 💡Leadership & Volunteering: Beyond the boardroom, I've been a Teacher's Assistant at IBA, guiding students in their coursework. I also passionately volunteered with the Make a Wish Foundation, and at the Young Leaders Entrepreneurial Summit, I pitched an entrepreneurial plan that reached the finals. 🌍🤝Skills & Interests: When I'm not immersed in finance, I enjoy exploring the world of languages, having achieved proficiency in Chinese (at a basic level). I also have a love for horse riding and swimming. 🏇🏊♀️I'm excited to connect with fellow professionals, share experiences, and explore opportunities for collaboration and growth. Feel free to reach out, and let's embark on a journey of knowledge and connection together! 🌐🤗#FinanceEnthusiast #ContinuousLearner #TeamPlayer #ProblemSolver #ConnectingProfessionals
