I completed my undergraduate degree in Commerce and Finance in Dubai, and moved to London in 2018 to pursue my Masters degree in Accounting, Accountability & Financial Management from King’s College London.
This fuelled my desire to learn more about London’s financial services industry and the booming insurance sector, and I therefore joined PwC in 2019 within the Insurance Risk practice. I am also currently pursuing my ACCA qualification which I will further leverage to provide my clients with effective solutions.
Over the past three and a half years, I have worked with a number of general insurance and life insurers, including Lloyd’s of London Syndicates, and have helped them navigate through change driven by regulatory, technological and operational factors. I have led multiple workstreams on complex financial and operational transformation programmes with a focus on high quality delivery and value creation. My agility and flexibility enables me to deliver over a vast number of demanding engagements including, process and control remediation programmes, UK SOx readiness assessments and cost savings identification and recommendations.
Having grown up in three countries and being influenced by a variety of cultures has helped me understand the importance of welcoming different perspectives of people from different walks of life. This, coupled with the encouragement I have received from strong female role models has led me to mentor female students from ethnic minorities and underprivileged socio-economic backgrounds. I am a certified Mental Health First Aider, and organise insightful events at PwC focused on inclusion, diversity and wellbeing.
