Professional business headshots with Nurlina

Nurlina booked in for some professional headshots with me to support her return to work.

However, I reckon she’s actually been working all along: raising three children is no small feat!

She’s now ready to start a new career, and will shortly begin an Open University course on software coding.

To give herself a head start, she’s already begun learning the main coding languages, and is looking forward to embarking on a whole new challenge.

Nurlina previously studied as an architect, and enjoyed that work but found that she needed to work a lot of long hours.

She then ran a backpackers hotel on a Malaysian island, where she met her future husband.

They were just about to expand when Nurlina’s father-in-law got ill, so her partner returned to the UK.

Then, the pandemic hit, and it took a year and a half before her visa came through, allowing her to join her husband here in the UK.

She’s lived in London previously, so didn’t suffer culture shock too badly, although she is surprised how much British people tend to moan – about the weather, the traffic, everything! 

Nevertheless she has enjoyed learning (and deploying!) the disapproving tut that is also a favourite response for the people of this green and pleasant land!

She would most love to secure a remote-working job for a big company like IBM, where there will be lots of opportunities to get really involved with the nitty gritty of improving and maintaining complex software packages.

Nurlina has two older daughters, Meera and Iris, and a six-year-old son, Ethan.

Meera and Iris are continuing their studies in Malaysia before coming over to the UK to do their final university years here.

Meera hopes to become a mechanical engineer, which follows in the footsteps of a lot of other members of the family, while Iris is seeking to become a fashion designer.

Ethan, meanwhile, absolutely adores cars and dinosaurs, so could become a mechanical engineer too, or perhaps a palaeontologist!

So it’s full steam ahead for all the members of this family as they work towards their dream careers – and now Nurlina has a brand new set of stunning headshots and business portraits ready to show prospective employers who they’ll be working with if they’re lucky enough to get her on their team! 🙂
