Former tech professional and current Clinical Mental Health Counseling student, driven by a personal mission to de-stigmatize mental health and bridge cultural divides. My background in software development and IT service management honed my skills in complex problem-solving and cross-cultural communication—skills I am now applying to clinical practice.

As an Asylee from Egypt and a member of a multicultural family, I have a deep, personal understanding of the impact of systemic barriers and cultural stigma. This lived experience is the foundation of my passion for counseling.
