What would people be surprised to know about you? 

People would be surprised to know that I had a monkey pet growing up.

Name a cause you are passionate about.

I’m passionate about environmental sustainability and protection. I strongly believe if we want to preserve our planet for the future generations, we need to get away from the culture of waste and adopt eco-friendly practices. I’m also an advocate for the nonhuman animals’ rights movement.

Why did you choose MSP?

I choose to attend MSP after completing my masters degree because of the tremendous amount of support and empathy I received from both the faculty and cohort. MSP has helped me grow both as a person and as a therapist.

What do you plan to do with your degree?

I plan on working both as a BCBA and a therapist in a corporate setting and perhaps considering the option of opening my own private practice in the far future.

What is your plan after graduation?

I’m planning on taking a long vacation to visit my family in Beirut, Lebanon and then backpacking in the Rocky Mountains before starting a job as a behavioral analyst.
