Summary

I am a 24-year-old professional born in Syria with a diverse heritage that includes Saudi, Iraqi, and Albanian roots. I relocated to the United States at the age of 10 due to the outbreak of the war in Syria. Following a few years in the U.S., I moved to Qatar for family reasons and completed my high school education there. I returned to the United States at 21, bringing with me a rich multicultural background and a global perspective.
