MBA BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION, CENTRAL SAINT MARTINS, UNIVERSITY OF THE ARTS, LONDON

I believe innovation and creativity are central to development, products or service in any leading organisation and it is key to sustaining a business in this fast-changing world, this is the motivation for me to embark upon this masters.

With over 20-years of existing experience in the third sector and working with Muslim and mainstream charities and businesses, has provided me with a vital understanding of management, communications, and fundraising. The additional knowledge I gained through the MBA places me in a unique position to develop teams and organisations with further depth.

The cross-disciplinary approach has equipped me with greater skills to manage in complex and ever-changing business environments, especially following the COVID-19 crisis. To be able to combine creative thinking and innovation with core financial and strategic management skills enable me to make a greater impact and contribution to future projects and initiatives.

I have learned the value of social finance, making sustainable changes for the longer-term, and impacting marginalised communities. I have a strong commitment to contributing to society and the wider community, as demonstrated by my service in the sector and I hope to continue to empower the diaspora communities at home and abroad.
