Meet Zaibunnisa Nasar, Clinical Trial Assistant
“I have to chase my dreams”
Zaibunnisa Malikajan Nasar isn’t into unquestioningly accepting the status quo. “My parents used to say, ‘You are the one who always asks ‘Why?’
My grandfather used to say, ‘Well, it's meant to be like this.’
“I’d say, ‘why?’ ”
Zaibunnisa comes to Salvia Bioelectronics from a conservative tradition where ambitious women have to kick open doors; where rules say women don’t leave their families until they’re married and they certainly don’t move to a foreign country for uni.
Zaibunnisa did all those things.
After university, she worked in India for two years as a physician’s assistant, a frontline health care worker in cardiology, oncology and pediatrics. Then, she decided to study abroad at the University of Newcastle. “I definitely want to fly,” Zaibunnisa said. “I have to chase my dreams. So, I had to tell my parents that I'm going to do a master’s and maybe land a job there and live my life.
“And the first question they hit me with was, ‘How are you going to do it? Who's gonna give you the money?’ "
Zaibunnisa’s answer: “I’ll figure it out.” She got loans and she worked.
After her master’s, she worked in Bristol on pharmaceutical and oncology trials as clinical research practitioner. She had been in a 10-year, long-distance relationship and was feeling “lost.” She began looking for a job that would reunite her with her partner.
“And then I found this job called ‘Clinical Trial Assistant’ at Salvia, working on the clinical side of the effort to help migraine sufferers. “It was a really, really meaningful position.”
It all came down to a call with Wim Pollet. Instead of revealing the outcome of the interview, “he just asked me, ‘When are you coming to the Netherlands?’ Whaaat? That moment of joy!”
Life in Eindhoven is sweet. While her partner is a football fan, Zaibunnisa prefers Formula 1 racing and is now close to Europe’s best tracks. She’s on the clinical team, which she describes as her second family. Zaibunnisa says she understands that colleagues are not necessarily your friends, but for her, this team feels special. “There is no fear of being judged. You can talk about anything. I can say anything to them…literally anything.”
And her parents? “Now they are happy. They're happy that I'm doing something great.
They’re nothing but proud!”
Page Title (H1)
Header (H2)
A subheading or chapter heading (H3)
Introductory text or a first paragraph of information on this subject. Write as naturally as possible and be nice and specific. If necessary, use AI software to help you get started, but definitely don't use it one-on-one. Search engines can penalize AI content.
Subheading (H4)
Here too there is more than enough room for a good story, an interesting article or background information. If necessary, use a summary:
- a summary is clear
- one can see the benefits or features at a glance
- also use search terms if necessary
Another topic (H3)
Another subheading (H4)
Do not use a Title Header (H1), but use an H2 Header instead. An H1 is actually a title of the page and may only appear once on a web page. The H2 is a kind of chapter and the other headers (H3 to H6) are subheadings and subheadings within the chapter. The order is important for the readability of visitors and search engines.
- a summary is clear
- one can see the benefits or features at a glance
- also use search terms if necessary
This way everything remains easy to read and understandable for the reader. People can also scroll directly to the topic they are interested in.
Paragraph heading style (H5)
This is another example of a heading. The headings H5 and H6 are usually used as paragraph headings, each with their own style.
Paragraph heading style (H6)
In the editor you can really see a difference in font size of all headers, but on the live website they have their own style.
Other options
Use a "quote". That looks like this:
This is a quote!
You can also put texts in bold, italic, etc.
Of maak een link naar een andere pagina of website.
And finally, you can also create Superscript(1) and Subscript(2) text.
