"I was captivated by NAYA for multiple reasons. Nora personified the spirit of NAYA with her friendly yet professional demeanor, and I instantly felt welcome. However, what truly captured my interest is NAYA's vision of creating a world where individuals can reach their full potential. I firmly believe that everyone deserves equal opportunities for success and personal growth, irrespective of their background or circumstances” Ahmad explains.
