My Mission
My mission in this life is to help people reach their full potential. Great technology truly enables, democratizes, and reduces barriers to opportunities. I have chosen design and product management as my vehicles to build such technologies.
My background
I have over 4+ years of experience building products in healthcare and social impact technology, along with 2 years of mentorship experience. I hold an MS in Human-Centered Design & Engineering and a BS in Industrial & Systems Engineering, with a background in fine art.
My strength
My strengths lie in strategic product thinking, systems thinking, and people skills. I often undertake dual roles in design and product management and find myself assuming leadership roles, even without a formal title.
My proudest moment
My first product was a patented solar home system for underserved areas in Palestine. Eager to take it one step further, I competed in and won the regional round of a startup competition in Singapore.
In the future
I envision myself behind a podcast microphone, engaging in conversations with brilliant minds from around the globe. Growing up, I longed for female representation in the tech industry to inspire me. I aim to become that source of inspiration for others.
