About me

I am a dedicated professional holding a Bachelor's degree in the English Language, a Diploma in Developmental Psychology from the University of Halabja, Project Management certification from the Maastricht School of Management, and a Board member of European Froum Alpbach-Club Iraq. My professional experience includes managing and designing projects in Inclusive Education and youth empowerment, mainly focusing on people with disabilities.

In addition to my work with the Halabja Disabled Organization, we have conducted many research projects related to Inclusive Education. Furthermore, I have played a pivotal role in spearheading awareness campaigns and advocating for the rights of persons with disabilities.
