Nur Aiza – a model insurance worker

FREELANCE model Nur Aiza Amira Anwar (pic) supplements her income by being an insurance agent, Utusan Malaysia reported.

The 24-year-old said being an insurance agent has pushed her out of her comfort zone and made her more confident.

“Whenever I work with a boutique, I aim to be professional as a model and when I work in the takaful insurance field, I try my best to get clients,” she said.

Nur Aiza revealed that she left her job as an accounts assistant with an oil and gas company to pursue other fields, a decision that shocked her family and friends.

“My job at the time did not allow me to fully explore my potential.

“I knew I would work harder if I were self-employed,” she said.
