She is currently a Project Officer at Ishar Multicultural Women’s Health Services, is dedicated to supporting women from Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CaLD) communities. Her previous role as a Bilingual Health Educator at Ishar highlighted her commitment to women's welfare. Despite her background in civil engineering and project management, Noor's true passion is working with women and children.
With prior experience at organisations like the YMCA and Outcare, she showcased her commitment to community service, particularly in working with young children. Having migrated from Iraq in 2014 and being a mother of three boys, Noor brings a unique perspective to promoting the health and well-being of women and children. Her diverse professional background and personal experiences enrich her ability to make a positive impact in her current role and future endeavors.
