The first female officer to work as an ammunition and explosives technician, Asma has been able to combine military work, scientific innovation, and athletic excellence, and hence become an example to follow in courage and excellence.

"I chose the military field because of my deep belief that women can contribute greatly to the Ministry of Interior (Mol). My work as an ammunition and explosives technician at the Weapons and Explosives Directorate makes me proud, especially since it requires precise skills and faces unconventional challenges,' she said.

'I began my journey in police work in 2006 and have continuously developed myself through training in the latest technologies, such as the use of artificial intelligence in detecting explosives. This step has not only enhanced my efficiency, but reduced the risks facing those working in this field as well," Asma said.
