Hawzhin

Civil Engineer, Iraq

I contribute to modernizing my society by building houses, roads, bridges, health care and educational facilities across Ninewa.

Growing up, I always wanted to be a teacher. But moving forward in my educational life, I realized I wanted to be a civil engineer because the field involves overcoming and solving challenges that come your way. Seeing the completed project used by the people I work for energizes me and motivates me to do more. Oh… and I really love the smell of rain on concrete floor!

My mother and then later my husband have always said: “Do and choose what makes you happy. Because at the end of the day, whether you succeed or fail, you would at least have gained experience from it.”
