About

I’m an Olympian swimmer representing Palestine, a 17 time Palestinian national record holder, Arab record holder, and the most decorated athlete at the 2023 Arab Games. I am also a 4 time World Championships qualifier and have competed on the biggest stages in sport, including the Olympic Games and major international competitions. I was offered 22 Division I scholarships and chose to compete at Auburn University, which gave me firsthand experience navigating the recruiting process and understanding what it takes to succeed in NCAA athletics. Outside of the pool, I serve on the Executive Board of the Olympic Council of Asia and chair the Gender Equity Committee, where I work to create more opportunities for athletes across the region. I have also had the honor of speaking at the United Nations and using my platform to promote sport as a tool for impact. As a mentor, I work closely with athletes to help them grow in every stage of their journey. That includes training, performance, recruiting, international competition, and life after sport. I keep it real and practical, and everything I share comes from lived experience.
