INTERVIEW
WHERE DID YOU GROW UP?
I grew up in Egypt; our home was by the Nile River.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE HOBBY OR PASTIME?
Being outdoors and getting in touch with nature. I also enjoy painting and being by the beach.
WHAT SUPER POWER WOULD YOU HAVE?
To be able to travel to places in no time.
IF YOU WERE AN ANIMAL, WHAT WOULD YOU BE AND WHY?
A horse. Horses are resilient, hardworking, graceful, magnificent, strong, powerful, and beautiful creatures; they are also intelligent. I admire their energy, their level of sensitivity and how they use their senses. I love that they can do well on their own and in a group too; they can adapt to different environments - and that impresses me.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE VACATION SPOT?
I love exploring new places and countries in general. I never get bored of Dahab on the southeast coast of the Sinani peninsula in Egypt for relaxing, or Italy-Florence to enjoy the magnificent architecture.
WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE WORD?
Love
WHEN YOU'RE NOT WORKING, HOW DO YOU LIKE TO SPEND YOUR TIME?
By the beach, cooking, painting, exploring new places or things, listening to music, and having quality time with my family.
WHAT’S YOUR HIDDEN TALENT?
Writing, I am also gifted at entertaining kids and getting the best out of their time. I am also talented at cleaning up any kind of space in a very short time with best results.
WHO IS YOUR ROLE MODEL?
My Dad.
IF YOU HAD TO EAT ONE THING FOR EVERY MEAL GOING FORWARD, WHAT WOULD YOU EAT?
A salad.
