EY Young Tax Professional of the Year 2021 finalist

Oman

Jawhar, from Oman, is one of four finalists representing Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE. She completed her BSc in International Business and Finance from the University of Reading in England in 2020 and now works with the EY Indirect Tax team in Muscat. She is also pursuing the Oman VAT Diploma qualification but says the field of mergers and acquisitions also holds her interest. On the weekends, she can often be found on some type of outdoor adventure like running, cycling, swimming and aerial sports. To wind down, she reads fiction novels and self-help books. She has volunteered at a local school, helping children with their reading and writing.
