 I am a 27 year old Chartered Accountant who worked for 2 multinational accounting firms before deciding to pursue my own practice. I am a moderate Muslim, I practice the basic tenants of the religion (5 times prayers, fasting, zakat etc.). I was born and raised in Toronto, Canada and have been residing in Toronto since. I have both, a Bachelors and Masters degree in Accounting and Financial Management, and have a CPA, CA (the Canadian Chartered Accountancy designation). My grandparents are originally from Badaun, UP, India, but my family has been living in Canada for 50 years. My father was born and raised in Karachi, Pakistan, my mother was born in Karachi, Pakistan, but was raised in Toronto, Canada. I have 1 older sister and 2 younger brothers, and all of my extended family is in Toronto. I am very close to my family. I am ambitious, witty, creative, and generous. Now that I am done with my formal education, I have a strong interest in exploring my creative side. I love reading and writing, and filmmaking. I love telling and hearing stories in any medium. I had seriously considered pursuing film out of high school. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, writing and going to the movies (as mentioned previously). I also enjoy volunteering, travelling and spending time with my large extended family.
