Just a few years into her burgeoning finance career, Azra Mirza left it all behind to focus on raising a family. And while motherhood proved to be rewarding, Azra felt something was missing. Her passion for finance and an unerring determination for success never wavered. With the support of her family, Azra returned to the workforce and set her sights on obtaining the CFA charter. On this episode of My Charter Story, we hear how one determined young woman bucked the trends of her traditional community to make her dreams come true. We’ll also learn how a network of colleagues and mentors helped guide Azra to her goal and discover how she’s making sure a new generation of females are financially literate. Azra's story is not only an inspiration for women breaking into finance, it is an example of motivation everyone can relate to. https://cfainst.is/DEIcode
