Nuzhat was honored with the title of Most Outstanding Management Student 2024 and also received two additional awards for Outstanding Performance in Marketing Management and Human Resource Management.
Currently, she is completing her Bachelor of Arts degree, with a focus on English Literary Arts and Management, and is eagerly awaiting her graduation. Nuzhat credits her success to her family, expressing deep gratitude for their support throughout her academic journey.

She lives by the philosophy of supporting others, emphasizing the importance of celebrating others’ successes without fearing that it diminishes one’s own opportunities. Nuzhat encouragingly stated, “For anyone struggling, I would like to say: never give up. Life has setbacks, but it also has comebacks. Dream big and be patient.”
Her approach to study involved developing a structured routine and breaking tasks into smaller, manageable segments, which significantly alleviated the stress that often leads to sleepless nights. She highlighted the importance of self-care and taking breaks to recharge, which in turn enhanced her focus and productivity.
Reflecting on her transition from Suva to Lautoka, Nuzhat acknowledged that leaving behind friends and the familiar comforts of home was a challenging experience, compounded by the loneliness of being an only child. This change increased her desire to achieve her academic dreams while grappling with the emotional weight of her circumstances.
Despite the pressures and the sleepless nights filled with assignments and exams, she believes that every challenge she faced has contributed to her resilience and perseverance.
This story serves as a beacon of hope and inspiration, illustrating that with dedication, a solid support system, and a positive mindset, overcoming obstacles is possible. Tarfeeha Nuzhat’s journey underscores the value of tenacity and family support in the pursuit of education and personal growth.
