“ Every medal that I have won is
very precious to me, but getting
nominated and receiving the Tamgha
E Imtiaz in 2012 was one of the
biggest achievements so far.

What is your motivation that keeps you going?
It has to be my love and passion for sports and fitness because I am
always into doing things and challenging my abilities and pushing
myself to do the best every time keeps me motivated.
Who is your role model, if any?
It has to be my parents. Not only did they help through difficult
situations in life, but they taught me how to deal with myself in these
circumstances, which has made me the person that I am today.
Any word of advice for aspiring athletes? Maybe something that will
help them get into the field?
My advice for any budding athlete is that, you need to realise some
aspects of sports and where you'd like to be; the sooner you accept this
the better your chance of being an athlete.
Something you would like to add about women empowerment in
the sports field?
It is the role of media and our people
to make the efforts of women
athletes more visible, because not
only does it open spaces for women
empowerment but also have an
impact on that particular female
athlete's future.
Educate and provide information
for the young girls and women in
the country about sports and what
it has to offer.
Lastly, encourage them to see
themselves in the roles they would
like to play, be it a player or a coach.
