What do you attribute your success to?

• She attributes her success to her dedication to her profession. She practiced medicine for 10 years in Iran and Dubai before coming to the United States and essentially starting her medical career over from the beginning. She spent years proving herself, doing countless hours of research, and competing for a fellowship spot in Reproductive Endocrinology. In the end, she learned so much in her extra hours of research and feel she has so much to offer her patients through that knowledge and experience.
