CURRENT MISSION

“Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away”.

ABOUT ME

I celebrate the world's diversity by seeking opportunities to meet people from all over the world. learning about Cultures and bridging communication and appreciation between eastern and western cultures.
I Love to travel, meet new people,and enjoy silly adventures.

I was born and raised in Jordan, I moved to the states to peruse my graduate studies. I am a designer and technologist, I love being creative in any form or way! Currently I a graduate student at University of Washington.

I'm a very open minded person. I believe there are two types of people, there are thinkers and believers, and I am definitely a thinker. I approach things with an open mind, then develop my own thoughts about them based on my experiences with them, rather than simply believing whatever other people tells me.
