"Born and raised in Palestine, I have a deep connection to the rich history, culture, and traditions of the Levant. Being bilingual in Arabic and English, I have developed a strong understanding of the nuances of both languages, including the various regional accents and dialects across the Arab world. My familiarity with Levantine culture allows me to navigate and appreciate its diverse customs, traditions, and perspectives, which shape both everyday life and broader societal interactions.

With two degrees in international relations, I have cultivated a comprehensive understanding of Middle Eastern politics, history, and global affairs. My academic background, combined with firsthand experience of the region, enables me to analyze and discuss complex geopolitical issues with depth and insight.
