I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Computer science and Information Technology but I did not find myself in that field at all. That is why, when I left Iraq in 2013, I started to think seriously about changing my major and moving to Canada to realize my dreams. When I was growing up in my country, things were a bit different. As a teenager, I was surrounded by girls of my age that were obsessed with different kinds of makeup-trying to hide their acnes and skin problems. It intrigued me and made me wonder - how can this be improved? We wouldn't wanna live in a world were people hide from make up or undergo extreme body modifications just to cover their skin concerns. I have always been fascinated with how beautiful our natural skin can be and I thought, maybe there is a way on how we can remain naturally-beautiful. This thought slowly turned into passion. I started to find products that will help my own skin problems. After seeing the results on my skin, I began hearing compliments from people around me that pushed me to increase my trust and belief in myself and made me study more about skincare. Later on, I started what I consider my first formal attempt in skincare, by practicing it with my own family members and friends. Surprisingly results were great! Even simple advice and techniques that I offered showed positive results on their skin look.

I remember when I first reached Canada 9 years ago, I made a hasty decision to study what I truly love - SKIN CARE. I vowed to continuosly learn healthy and non-invasive ways to enhance our skin's natural capability to stay beautiful. I started attending trainings, loads of workshops, I studied and worked hard to make my dream a reality. Finally in 2019, I received my certificate in "Laser Hair Removal and Medical Aesthetic" from The Looks Aesthetic Academy. I cannot tell you how proud and happy I was that time, it was a pivotal point in my life. Having enough knowledge and skills I have gathered through the years, I decided to take a giant leap. In 2019, I opened up my own business. I battled through many nights of hesitations and doubts whether or not I should continue or if I would even be successful at all. Then I remembered that- this is the time to put all of my hardwork into place, and so I began. Little did I know, the catastrophic pandemic will hit the whole world.

Unfortunately, after the first attempt, I had to close the business down. I was devastated and felt a little lost. After some time, I found myself even improving on my knowledge and began to research new and more modern ways on how to help people with skin conditions. Over a year passed, I started receiving calls and messages from my clients asking me when I will reopen. Thanks to them, I decided to come back stronger and better. I promised myself that I will give my customers the best services they deserve, so I added a couple more certificates in the field like “Body Contouring” and “Butt Lifting” and so on.

Looking back, with all the obstacles and bumps along the way, I tap myself on the back and say "Good job girl, you made a great choice!"

To anyone else who is going through the same road I was in long time ago, just hang on, pursue and persevere. If a young girl from Iraq who dreamed and thrived made it - then so can you!
