Family life 

I was born in Sofia – Bulgaria,  grew up in Beirut – Lebanon and I moved to Berlin – Germany in 2008, where I currently live with my husband and two children.

Academic Background

My academic background is in social sciences. I have a BA in International Relations from the Lebanese American University in Beirut and a Master’s of Public Policy from the Hertie School of Governance in Berlin. 

I have experience working in both the governmental and non-governmental sectors. I am also a writer and worked for several years as a journalist, having published pieces in Raseef22, a leading online portal for the Arabic speaking world.

Career Change 

In 2021, I decided to make the shift from the field of training, facilitation and moderating in the political field into the domain of individual and group coaching.

I did my coach training in the Co-active Training Institute, and I am a member of the International Coaching Federation (ICF).

International Coach 

My culturally diverse background, in addition to my passion for communication and connection, have all led me to coaching. The main reason behind my decision is the  positive and powerful impact that coaching has on both individuals and groups.

My international experience makes me a global coach, as I enjoy working with people from various cultural backgrounds, especially expats who are trying to make a home away from home.
