Mariya Hareem’s story is one of determination, adaptability, and relentless pursuit of growth. Hailing from Karachi, she began her professional journey as an Industrial and Manufacturing Engineer, excelling in production lines and project management. However, as life unfolded, she found herself stepping away from her career to focus on other responsibilities.
When it was time to re-enter the job market, she realized she needed to upskill—especially in the tech world. With no prior IT knowledge, she took a bold step by enrolling in the Bano Qabil Program, which led her to the Institute of Emerging Careers (IEC). Despite balancing the challenges of motherhood and a demanding study schedule, she poured her heart into the Data Analytics course at IEC.
Her hard work paid off. Not only did she complete the course with flying colors, but she also joined IEC as an academic facilitator. This role not only allowed her to continue learning about data science but also ignited her passion for the field. Now, she is planning to pursue a degree in Data Science, combining her engineering background with her newfound expertise in analytics.
Mariya’s journey is a testament to the power of perseverance and the courage to embrace new opportunities. As she says, “Juggling diapers and deadlines was no easy feat, but the support of IEC and my determination to succeed made it all worth it.” Mariya is now ready to carve a bright future in tech, blending her skills with a unique mom-preneur touch.
She is a digital marketing and content writing expert with over 5 years of experience, dedicated to driving impactful results and crafting innovative strategies. As the Acquisition Lead at IEC, she oversees the application process, ensuring a seamless experience for aspiring students.
