In 2017, I moved back to Lebanon to continue my education as an aspiring Clinical Psychologist. On August 14 2020, I successfully completed my MA in Clinical Psychology at the University of Balamand. As part of my research, I explored how the life experiences of Third Culture Kids may have played a role in their identity development and interpersonal relationships.
Throughout my MA I had the privilege of completing trainings in various placements, including: The Psychiatric Hospital of the Cross (psychiatric disorders), SESOBEL (children with physical and/or intellectual disabilities) and Mariam & Martha Community Center (women's shelter and rehabilitation center), among others.

Social psychologist with expertise in judgment and decision making, behavioral economics, risk management, and culture and cognition. In my current work, I bring together insights from social, behavioral, and cognitive science to evaluate, predict, and improve people’s everyday judgment, decision making, and behavior, especially involving health and financial risk management, and to inform the efficacy and sustainability of government programs and policies associated with those decisions. In culture and cognition, I build on interdisciplinary research on analytic (e.g., European) vs. holistic (e.g., Asian) cognitive styles to put together a better understanding of the cognitive styles of Arab and Middle Eastern cultures and situate it within established cognitive frameworks (e.g., dialectical thinking vs. formal logic), thereby expanding our ability to predict and influence human judgment and decision making across contexts, cultures, and domains, and to anticipate the prospect for social and cultural change.
