Summary

With over five years of experience in the financial services sector, I have developed a strong expertise in customer service, back office operations, and communication. My educational foundation in business administration was established with a BBA (Hons) degree from Shah Abdul Latif University, completed in January 2018. My professional journey includes a significant role as a Customer Service Officer at Advans Pakistan Microfinance Bank Ltd, where I honed my skills in handling customer inquiries and complaints with professionalism. Internships at Khushhali Microfinance Bank Ltd and Engro Fertilizer Limited provided me with valuable insights into banking operations. In my tenure as a Back Office Officer at Advans Pakistan Microfinance Bank Ltd, I was responsible for record maintenance, transaction management, and inter-departmental coordination. My proficiency in MS Office Suite aids in efficient data management and process improvement. Known for being detail-oriented and proactive, I strive for excellence in my work, quickly adapt to new challenges, and perform effectively under pressure. Currently, I am working at Bank Islami Pakistan Limited as a Customer Service Officer.
