Completing my DBA at IAU from March 2021 to March 2025 has been a journey marked by perseverance. Transferring credit hours from Malaysia’s university during the COVID-19 period posed academic and administrative challenges. At the same time, I navigated a career shift in 2021, welcomed a premature baby in 2022 and cared for hospitalized parents in 2023. Despite these personal trials, I remained focused and graduated with a CGPA of 3.49/4.00 This achievement reflects not just academic effort but a deep commitment to growth through adversity and I am deeply grateful to IAU for supporting this journey.
