Education: A Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering specializing in Telecommunications and Electronics from the Jordan University of Science and Technology.

Best College Experience: I started the Women in Engineering club, which is part of IEEE. It was a great experience to gather my fellow female engineering students to sign up for the club and coordinate activities with IEEE.  

Favorite TV Show: Where do I begin? I love watching TV and have too many shows to list but would say my current favorite is The Witcher. I also absolutely love the BBC mini-series classics adaptations like North and South, Emma, Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre, and all the Jane Austen adaptations.

Favorite Movie: Pride and Prejudice (2005), Persuasion (2007), Far from the Madding Crowd (2015), and the Marvel Universe movies.  

Favorite Book: It’s like asking me to choose a favorite child 😊. I’ve always been an avid reader, some of my favorites are the Fever Series, Book Lovers, the Kate Daniels series, the Hating Game, Letters to the Lost, Rebel Queen, and of course all the classics.  

Most Memorable Place I've Ever Visited: Petra and Wadi Rum – majestic!

Still on my bucket list: There is a lot that I want to do and see; at the top of my list would be visiting Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa Mosque, Spain, Machu Picchu, Húsavík in Iceland.
