1) How did you get started in UX?

2) What is most rewarding about working in UX?
We are helping people! We also get to work through unique challenges and are for sure changing our way of thinking.
3) What was your first volunteer role with UXPA International?
Mentorship with members worldwide. I really enjoyed it and knew I wanted to be more involved.
4) What would you like to accomplish during your first year as the MENA regional director?
Build awareness about UXPA in the MENA region by running webinars, contacting local communities, and establishing new chapters.
5) And finally, what is your favorite food to eat during the holidays?
Mansaf (a very famous Jordanian Dish).
