She holds an MSc in Gender, Development and Globalisation from the London School of Economics and a postgraduate certificate in International Development Project Management from Humber College in Toronto.

Currently, she serves as a Gender Advisor for Oxfam’s office in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, where she supports a range of projects focused on digital rights, Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR), Gender-Based Violence (GBV), and the recognition of women’s contributions to peace and security.
