ABOUT ME

I'm a Jordanian translator and researcher. Passionate about books, translation, art, teaching and writing; my first short stories collection"The lonelyAmman's river" was published in May 2019. I lead a positive attitude in life, trying to encourage people to know more about things they are keen on.
I love volunteering. I've volunteered in spreading science and literature, blogging, teaching refugee kids, organizing world translation conference in Jordan and cooperating with manyAmerican universities to study the refugees' situation in Jordan.
