I was born and raised in Kuwait, and had been interested in psychology my whole life. I received my BS in psychology, minoring in behavioral neuroscience from Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts. I am now currently enrolled in an MSc program in psychoanalytic developmental psychology at the Anna Freud center, ran in conjunction with University College London. I am extremely motivated to try to increase awareness of psychology in the Middle East and try to make an impact in any way possible.
