Her Story
About Beheshta
I started my journey as a procurement project assistant in Afghanistan with an international organization. Then I went to the World Bank as a contract specialist working on the Creative Industry Project for women artisans. After that, I worked at the United Nations UNESCO as an operations officer. I have an MBA and completed CPSM certification in supply management. I also earned a second master's in finance and accounting in the UK after leaving Afghanistan due to the situation there. Now I work in consulting while pursuing better opportunities.
Her Interview
Ten minutes with Beheshta
01What do you attribute your success to?
My success comes from my family support, especially my parents who are doctors with a different mindset encouraging me to study and work hard. Also my own mindset of knowing myself, setting goals, working hard, and never giving up despite challenges growing up in Afghanistan.
02What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Life is a journey with lots of ups and downs. The winner is those who learn from their experiences and move stronger. Nothing is impossible but nothing is easy to achieve. Keep moving forward, don't stop, and you will achieve better things.
