I am originally from Iraq, Baghdad. I speak Arabic, English, and Turkish. In my free time, I love to paint, read or write poetry, take photographs, make films, or enjoy nature. I am deeply passionate about leading positive change and empowering communities around the world, whether through art, writing, or landscape design. My goal in life is to leave it better than I found it.
