Wafaa started her 40+ year career as an accountant. When the opportunity arose to help employees in a more benefits-focused realm, she took on the challenge. As Benefits Manager, she develops, administers, and maintains the voluntary- and company-paid benefit plans for Ghafari’s domestic and international team members.
Having spent several decades in accounting, Wafaa enjoys the “people-focused” part of her role. With a knack for numbers paired with empathy, she is adept at analyzing industry benchmarks and welcomes employee feedback to administer benefits plans that are focused on the individual.
Wafaa is a Certified Public Accountant and holds a Bachelor of Science in accounting from University of Detroit Mercy.
