Zahra grew up in Paris, France, and moved to New York as a young adult. She started her career with New York Life in 2003 while raising three young children in New York City. As a single mother, she was looking for a career that would afford her the flexibility, the benefits, and the unlimited income potential that she believed she needed in order to provide her family with the education, the security and the lifestyle she had envisioned for her loved one. New York Life gave her the opportunity to fulfill those needs and beyond. Her hard work and ability to build relationships resulted in a thriving career as a financial advisor. Fourteen years later, now with all her “children” grown up, she joined the management team at the rapidly expanding Manhattan office. Shortly after she was promoted to Senior partner in 2020. Zahra's goal is to offer the same opportunity that she has enjoyed at New York Life to others.
