The following two forms are both grammatical:

[Noun] that I am [abstract noun] of.
[Noun], of which I am [abstract noun].

Thus, if you feel the need not to end with a proposition (and there are many cases in the English language where it cannot be avoided; there is no genuine rule against doing so), then you could rephrase your sentence as follows:

I have made many small and big improvements in my life, of which — as a Middle Eastern female — I am very proud.

(Note that I have also contained the subordinate clause — "as a Middle Eastern female" — between em dashes, to prevent excessive commas!)
