Our Graduates… A Success Story | Episode 24
Mai Imad Al-Din Al-Abd — 11th cohort · 2014–2015
Pharmacist — founder of the “may” skincare brand
“Success is not easy… but whoever looks for their path will find it.”
Her journey in one sentence
Pharmacy was my dream, but I found a different path through which I express this dream in my own way.
Her story in her own words
I graduated in 2015 as a passionate pharmacist and tried more than one pharmacy role over eight years — from supervising a pharmacy specialized in skincare to other positions, and of course government work, all of which added to my experience. Then I found my own path: different, but enjoyable and scientific, and one that reduces the pollutants we are exposed to, especially women. I went back to nature, combined it with pharmacy, and created the “may” brand — skincare solutions that treat skin problems scientifically and suit Iraq’s climate, even in the way they are used.

A word to her College
We were always distinguished students in our knowledge. My thanks and gratitude to everyone who taught me during my college years — every doctor, professor and teaching assistant left a mark that I was able to turn into a point of distinction on my journey, the most important being discipline.
