Nazia

Nazia is a general practitioner (medical doctor) based in Maple Ridge, BC. At the time this photo was taken she was a family physician in Prince George, BC. Her proudest accomplishment is securing a residency position at the University of British Columbia as a new citizen of Canada after going through a very competitive selection criteria. Her favourite past time is spending time with her family, camping, travelling, and going to the gym/working out. What’s most important to her is spending time with her family despite her greatest challenge which is her extremely busy schedule.  When I asked her what her own favourite quality is she told me, “I am a good listener which helps me in doing my job to the best of my abilities.” Something that people may not know about Nazia is that she is a really amazing singer. When I asked her what’s an inspiring message she would like to share she said, “Wearing a hijab will never stop a person from achieving one’s goals in the West.”
