"My name is Karima Khan, and I am proud to be from India. My professional journey began with OneSpaWorld, where I started as a Beauty Therapist. In the beginning, it was both exciting and challenging - stepping into a global organization, learning, adapting, and growing every single day.

After completing one successful contract, I am now honored to serve as an Assistant Manager. This achievement is not just a promotion; it is a reflection of the dedication, passion, and hard work I have invested in this industry.

Being a part of OneSpaWorld and the London Wellness Academy has given me opportunities beyond my imagination. I have learned, grown, and transformed, not only as a professional but also as an individual. The training, guidance, and exposure I received have shaped me into who I am today.

Most importantly, my journey would not have been possible without the unwavering support of AirBorne. From the very first step to every milestone, they stood beside me, guiding and encouraging me to keep moving forward. For this, I am truly grateful.

Looking back, what once seemed like a dream is now my reality. I am deeply proud of how far I have come, and I look forward to continuing this journey with passion, dedication, and the desire to inspire others. "
