Interview with Ayemen

At Weipoint, we have been extremely fortunate to work with Ayemen, our Hindi language ambassador. She has worked with us to translate our 5o Places in Birmingham Instagram series into Hindi so that we can reach out to the wider Birmingham community and celebrate the diversity of its people. Ayemen kindly agreed to conduct a short interview with us to tell others about her experiences and share what it is like to work with Weipoint in a language capacity.

Q1. Tell us three things about yourself.

A1. I'm from Hyderabad, India, I'd say it's the land where. Biryani got tastier. I I'm an advocate for Liberty for all, and I do that through my work with two amazing organizations, Students For Liberty and Ladies of Liberty Alliance.

Q2. What are you studying? Tell us about your course. 

A2. I'm studying Pharm D and currently am in my internship period. It's a fairly new course in India, and lasts 6 years long and I'm happy to graduate this fall. I have interests in specialising in pharmacoeconomics or regulatory affairs.

Q3. How do you know about Weipoint and how did you come to work with us?

A5. I think the best part is the community and meeting people. I think I'm too early in to feel frustrated, Maybe I'll have an answer in the future.
