This month, we met with Al Zain Jewellery Marketing – Customer Experience Manager, Fatima Darwish – a woman who takes pride in balancing her personal and professional life. Let’s take a walk in her shoes!
Would you rather travel to the mountains or the beach for a vacation?
I’d pick the beach; there’s something so calming about the sound of waves and the warmth of the sun. It’s the perfect setting for recharging and pausing from the fast pace of life.
What do you consider to be your greatest achievement to date?
My greatest achievement is being a mother while successfully balancing my personal and work life. Celebrating the success of my journey and where I am today is a testament to resilience and dedication, and it’s something I’m incredibly proud of.
What’s your go-to comfort food?
I will always choose my mother’s food. There’s something special about her cooked meals made with love that brings me the greatest comfort.
Would you rather binge-watch a TV show or read a good book on a lazy Friday?
Friday is usually a family gathering day but, when I have time, I’m definitely more of a book person – nothing beats getting lost in a great story, especially on a quiet, relaxing day.
Are you more of an early bird or a night owl?
Definitely an early bird! I love the quiet moments of the morning when the world feels still, and I can gather my thoughts before the day unfolds.
What’s a hobby you love doing but don’t get enough time for?
I love discovering new places. Exploring different cultures and experiencing new environments is something I’m passionate about.
Live in a big city or a small town?
I’d choose a big city. The energy, diversity and opportunities for growth always inspire me, though I do appreciate small, quiet escapes from time to time.
What’s a quirky habit you have that most people don’t know about?
I always carry two bags – one small and one big. The big one stays in the car, and you can find just about anything you need in there. It’s like my own little emergency kit on the go!
