A Journey Through Time: Reflections on My Life at the Vernal Equinox

Born on March 21st, the day of the Vernal Equinox—a symbol of balance and renewal—I’ve often found this cosmic alignment to mirror my own life’s journey. My journey has been anything but linear. From the demanding world of banking in socially and politically volatile regions to spearheading transformational change in Iraq’s financial sector, each chapter has taught me something new about leadership, courage, and purpose. Through it all, my family has been my unwavering anchor, and the friendships I’ve forged along the way have brought immense strength and joy. At the heart of it, I remain a lifelong learner—driven by curiosity, grounded by relationships, and committed to growth. Together, these experiences form the mosaic of a life fully lived, filled with meaning, reflection, and an enduring desire to contribute.
