Nargiza Hakimova, Business Administration'1999

 

 

Before emigrating to Australia in 2004, I worked for ACCELS/USAID's National Testing Initiative project (Общереспубликанское Тестирование) for three years as a National Testing Administrator.  My current career is in the investments industry.  I work in Client Relations of Asset Servicing, which is one of the departments in National Australia Bank (publicly listed company, not to confuse with the Reserve Bank of Australia).  NAB is one of the largest banks in Australia and has one of the highest ratings in the world.  Asset Servicing manages investments for large pension funds and investment funds.  I have been with NAB for over seven years. 

 

 

For me, the most interesting thing was the number of fellow ACCELS high school exchange alumni.  It helped us carry on our optimism about changing things for the better and join and multiply our efforts.

 

 

In Australia, there is a rite of passage: a lot of young people go travelling around the world on a working holiday before they start serious work and building their career.  I would suggest AUCA students to start the same tradition. 

 

 

I would like to thank the faculty for their great work!  I am proud of many of my classmates for their outstanding contribution to Kyrgyzstan's development and wish them further success!  Thanks to the world wide web, we are always in touch.
