A good education system, a sense of safety and feeling her culture and beliefs are respected were important factors for Nourhan Elzanati when she decided to make Australia home for her and her children.
Nourhan was born in Egypt. After graduating from the Faculty of Pharmacy in Alexandria, she worked as a community pharmacist, a medical representative, a patient educator and a personal assistant before moving to Australia.
Now working as an intern pharmacist in Geelong, Victoria, Nourhan enjoys getting out into the local natural environment in her spare time.
