Born and raised in the Middle East, my journey has been one of resilience, bold moves, and turning setbacks into opportunities. As a child, significant health challenges affected my confidence and shaped my determination to live with purpose.

During my undergraduate years, I juggled three part-time jobs to fund my education, which took a toll on my grades. When my dream of studying medicine was no longer an option, I found myself in the corporate world, feeling disconnected from my true purpose. But I knew that this wasn’t the end of my story, so I made the bold decision to move to the UK—a turning point that opened doors to positions in Australia, Hong Kong, and the UK, before settling in Canada. Each international move reinforced one critical lesson: how we think defines how we overcome challenges and seize opportunities.

As a mom of two, balancing family and career, I understand firsthand the importance of mindset in managing life’s demands. My career advancement, from tutor to Lecturer to Associate Professor to Director, wasn’t just about academic achievement but about cultivating the resilience and mental fortitude to adapt, learn, and lead.

With nearly two decades of experience across eight universities globally, I am passionate about helping others harness the power of mindset. The right mindset can be the difference between stagnation and growth, stress and success. This drives my work as a NeuroChange Solutions (NCS) consultant, speaker, and mentor, empowering individuals and organizations to thrive by transforming stress into success and building resilience.

I believe that life doesn’t just happen to us—we shape it. Whether through the neuroscience of change I teach as an NCS consultant, the life skills instilled through Luminara Academy, or my insights as a speaker, my goal is to help individuals unlock their potential and create meaningful change. I’ve seen students and professionals who are technically strong but struggle because they lack the mindset to overcome challenges and lead with confidence.

If you’re ready to break free from limitations and shape your future with intention, let’s connect. Together, we’ll build a path to success rooted in resilience, clarity, and the power of mindset.
