Amna Wajahat is as go-getter as they come. As a Pakistani-American Muslim and a proud Tampa native, she understands the power of using purpose to drive positive change in her community, thus making a meaningful impact on the world.
Throughout her undergraduate years at the University of South Florida, she distinguished herself among her peers through leadership, scholarship and cultural diversity. As a provost scholar in the Judy Genshaft Honors College, she graduates in May having completed a bachelor’s degree in business analytics and information systems in three years.
Her academic journey is woven together with rich and diverse experiences including studying abroad in Seoul, South Korea, interning as a summer analyst at Citibank, and participating in the Collegiate Leadership Tampa Bay program.
In South Korea, she witnessed the technological advancements that have made the country a global leader in innovation. A visit to Samsung’s flagship store inspired her to incorporate a tech-forward mindset.
At Citibank, a summer stint as an Enterprise Operations and Technology analyst led to a job offer. There she worked on the Cross-Border Data Clearance team project that ensured the company’s compliance with data privacy requirements. She will be joining Citi full-time upon graduation.
As if that wasn’t enough, she carved out time on weekends to address the community’s food insecurity by volunteering at Feeding Tampa Bay.
She’s grateful for all the opportunities USF has given her to explore her passions and to fine-tune her purpose as she sets off to make her mark in the world.
