Whether it's hiking, traveling or trying something new, I am always searching for adventure and fun. Many of my family and friends would consider me "the planner" because I am always looking for new experiences and I bring them along with me. I enjoy the company of people that are intelligent, laid back, and have a great sense of humor. As a member of a large, fun, and loving Palestinian-American family, I have naturally grown to be very family-oriented. I consider myself a lifelong learner which is why I enjoy documentaries, podcasts and non-fiction books. As someone who takes great interest in self-improvement, I also enjoy anything related to health and fitness.  I have a bachelor's and a master's in Chemistry and currently working on my second master's degree in STEM education. I work as a high school chemistry teacher, a job that I genuinely enjoy.
