Humza Haq

Hi, there! My name is Humza

A few highlights about myself:

I am a student of Accounting and Financial Management (Co-op) at the University of Waterloo. Waterloo fosters an environment that combines classroom knowledge with real-world experience. Through the learning stages, extracurricular involvement, and upcoming work experiences, I look forward to kickstarting my career in accounting and finance. 

I have indulged in digital marketing over the years in numerous clubs to expand our organization's vision. At MedLife, we helped raise over $2000 for children in South America by promoting our mission through events. I joined the CPA Club of Waterloo as well as a Marketing Coordinator to pursue my passion for marketing. I strive to bring about new information to individuals, meet set deadlines, provide quality pieces of work and participate in valuable growth in any task I take part in.

I am an explorer, expanding my leadership capabilities in various roles in my first year of university. During my time with the Universal Finance Organization of Waterloo, I led and coordinated podcast episodes which led to over 500 views in a week, and attended numerous meetings which bettered our process in production and were recognized by the president of our club.

I consider myself a coffee enthusiast as I took up a role within the infamous coffee shop Starbucks. I curated numerous drinks and catered to thousands of individuals. My experience at Starbucks continued after my time there as I still indulge in numerous coffees from around the world as a hobby I am passionate about.
