About me (place of birth, native language, other details)
I am of Jordanian descent. I have been living and working in the Netherlands for over 25 years. I still have close contacts with my native Jordan. To get a good picture of me I would like to explain the following: I grew up in Jordan until the age of 18 and later lived in Syria for another 6 years where I studied and got my degree in Pharmacy. Since 1998 I have been working in the Netherlands. In recent years I have studied "Master level " and gained work experience in Arab countries/ the Netherlands. In recent years I also have a lot of experience in mediation and communication between companies in the Middle East and the Netherlands. For now I would like to do something with my broad experience with refugees and foreigners by being able to help as an interpreter and build cultural bridge between them and the new life in NL, I would like to contribute by using my experiences in both countries and my background knowledge to improve integration of Syrian refugees in NL.
