ZOHA
When Zoha joined Rise, she was brimming with passion but lacked career direction, the reflective skills to make informed decisions about her future, an awareness of what it takes to gain admission to a top university, and work-life balance.
We tackled each of these growth areas as a team with Zoha, introducing her to practical advice, field-specific advice, and reflective exercises that helped her focus her energy to identify and pursue the things most important to her!
