I am a senior at the Carlson School of Management, pursuing a major in finance with a passion for entrepreneurship and global business. Originally from Pakistan, I have always been driven by entrepreneurial ambitions, which led me to establish a leather company that manufactures locally and sells internationally, with a primary market in Australia and Europe.At 15, I took over my father’s real estate firm, expanding its operations into multiple countries. This early exposure to sales, client management, and business operations allowed me to hone my leadership and entrepreneurial skills. By 16, I closed my first real estate sale, and just before moving to the U.S., I brokered my last deal, which helped fund my education.Beyond business, I have also been an avid athlete. As captain of the Pakistan throwball team, I represented my country at the Malaysia Student Olympics. Cricket remains a lifelong passion, having played for the Pakistan U-19 team before joining UMCC.These experiences have not only shaped my ability to lead and collaborate effectively, but they have also instilled in me a strong work ethic and adaptability, which I continue to apply in both my academic and professional pursuits.
