My name is Malika Zakarneh. I studied electronics engineering and graduated in 2000 from Hijjawi Faculty in Yarmouk University. My field of studies was a little bit unusual. Even the field of business that I chose was mostly dominated by males. This was a challenge for me: to prove myself and to distinguish myself. Thank God, I can say I have succeeded. At first I worked as a Design Maintenance Engineer. We used to fix and design electrical boards, as well as fix or design production lines. I liked my job, but unfortunately I didn’t feel acceptance from others. Even people who worked with us were not very comfortable with having us on board. Our technical capabilities were always questioned. However, we are engineers, too. We are smart and we can work just like them. My family’s opinion of my business? Well when I first quit my job and told them I no longer wanted to be an employee and that I wanted to start my own business, they thought I was crazy. I told them: indeed, I am crazy! So I quit my job in 2006 and started my own business. My journey is still challenging, but I try to overcome every challenge as it happens. The most surprising thing for me was, and still is, the society’s perception. They still can’t understand how a woman working in this field could be capable of doing it. My source of inspiration and motivation is the fact that I like helping people and supporting others, especially youth, who usually need some guidance as to what they should become in the future. My advice to women entrepreneurs is that they try their best to innovate, to come up with something that fits our society and culture while serving both the society and their own goals that they seek to achieve.
