What has been your vision and what do you most love about your career?

I envision myself as becoming to become the area manager of my company, I love it that people save and invest their earnings instead of futile expenditure.

What do you think is your biggest achievement throughout your professional journey?

I consider dragging my husband also into this work although he didn’t want to pursue it as a career and besides that having convinced even most conservative people into saving their money through this system are my achievements.

What are your current projects and what will you be doing in near future?

I am looking forward to sell more and more policies, gain hands on experience after which I’ll make a team of my own, where others will market this product under my supervision.
A word of advice you would like to pass on to women of Pakistan who wish to pursue same career as you.

This work is time taking and needs patience as people are not easy to deal with. Many people deem this to be in contradiction with Islam, so stay head strong, gain complete knowledge about company policies, observe how people behave, and stay focused. A woman in my field shouldn’t give up easily.
