Marwah Alfulfulee
Although parenting and a high-stress job keep her busy, Marwah’s door is always open because her true passion is hosting and entertaining both friends and strangers.
What makes you feel proud?
I’m a project manager in a male-dominated industry now, but I’ve also lived through six wars and still can see good things ahead in my life. I’m proud because I never gave up. I never surrendered to all the stress. I migrated from the Middle East just 10 years ago. I’ve become a successful engineer/ manager, wife and mom for two young, strong girls.
One year from today, how do you hope you’re different?
I hope I will be more settled and in a higher position at work. I hope to grab my inner peace and stick to it. Let things go more and more.
“I’m proud because I never gave up. I never surrendered to all the stress.”
What keeps you up at night?
Ideas for crafting that need to be executed at 3 a.m.! I do a lot of crafting and hand- painting glass.
What’s been the biggest obstacle in your life so far?
Language. I taught myself English just through watching television and chatting with people.
What’s the best advice you’ve ever received?
Be yourself.
