I completed my undergraduate degree in Psychology at the Jordanian University, giving me a strong foundation in human behavior, mental health, and interpersonal dynamics. This education equipped me with empathy, resilience, and the ability to connect with people from diverse backgrounds.

Most recently, I obtained my Master's degree in Health and Clinical Psychology from Birkbeck, University of London.
