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 º£½ÇÂÒÂ×?
I choose to attend º£½ÇÂÒÂ× after completing my masters degree because of the tremendous amount of support and empathy I received from both the faculty and cohort. º£½ÇÂÒÂ× 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.
