About (Summary)
Although I am originally from Pakistan, I was born and raised in the Middle East. I spent 15 years in Saudi Arabia and 3 years in Qatar, attending international schools throughout my time in the region. I have a passion for working with numbers and hence I'm studying econometrics at UT Austin. I am an e-commerce business owner as well as a social media influencer with over 100,000 followers on a soccer themed Instagram page I own. I have worked with companies such as Amazon, Meta, and OneFootball in the past.
