Deiaa AlOthman：我来自外交官家庭，从小接触国际社会，这培养了我的领导力和对不同文化的理解。在哈佛的学习经历，以及在男性主导的银行领域克服挑战的经历，都让我受益匪浅。我始终将家庭放在首位，即使这会影响我的职业发展速度，我也认为这是值得的。伊拉克入侵的经历让我更加坚韧，也让我更加珍惜和平与家庭。我的成功源于努力工作、良好的意图、坚定的信念以及周围人的支持。在遇到困难时，我会祈祷，寻求上帝的指引，并与信任的人交流。我努力在工作中的坚定和生活中的温柔之间取得平衡，并享受生活中的每一刻。 Ella: (This section is a summary of Ella's questions and comments, not a core argument.)
