About Zaiba Malik

What is your proudest professional achievement?

Establishing a portfolio career that allows me to continue to learn and be challenged daily, combining my various passions and interests to create a fulfilling career that is outside the box – but on my own terms.

Outside of ophthalmology, what makes you happy?

Travel with my family, global health collaborations, long walks with hot coffee, creating art, and reading.

Why is it important to celebrate women in the field this way?

Women are making contributions to the field of ophthalmology and bringing new ideas and innovations to the global arena. It's important to recognize achievements beyond traditional academic scholarship. Amplifying women’s efforts empowers more women – and men – to envision broader possibilities and create their own legacies.
