Hi and welcome to my blog!

I'm Yousra Abdelmoneim a Sudanese, London based chartered accountant, economist by background, currently working in Risk Assurance.

Over the years I've received and provided advice and support to others through mentorship, speaking at events, organising events and contributing to a variety of company blogs and vlogs.

So, the purpose of this blog is to pay it forward by sharing career and university advice, lessons I've learned on my personal development and growth journey, personal finance tips and my thoughts and on current issues. Also, using this as a platform to share the stories of others that can benefit and impact others on their career journey, I hope you enjoy it!
