About me
I am a journalist by professor, now working in the country’s first financial daily newspaper for the last 20 years. It is now 30 years of experience as I worked in various media including news agencies, magazines and online portal. My decision to be a journalist has left me to face many friendly environment for women not only in the media but also in the society as hardly women used to choose this challenging profession at the time I joined after graduating from the Mass Communication and Journalism at the University of Dhaka in 1993. My interest in the mental health and leadership came while facing different challenges. Training at home and abroad as well as networking have helped me sustain in the profession and be acceptable to many journalists. I was President of my newspaper's journalist union and is now Vice President of Female Journalists Network, Bangladesh.
