About me (place of birth, native language, other details)
I grew up in Jordan until the age of 18 and then lived in Syria for six years, where I obtained my degree in Pharmacy, I still have close contacts with my country ******* For over 20 years I have been living and working in the Netherlands. I studied pharmacy at Master's level at Utrecht University and gained broad working experience in both Arab countries and the Netherlands. Through my medical company, I have gained a lot of experience in mediation and communication between pharmaceutical companies in the Middle East and the Netherlands. In addition, in recent years I have mainly focused on supporting refugees and foreigners. As an interpreter and educator, I like to use my knowledge and experience to build cultural bridges and contribute to a better integration process of Syrian refugees in the Netherlands.
