For years, I’ve carried a deep passion for China—its language, its culture, and its people. I’ve always believed that language is a bridge, and when I saw how genuinely interested many Chinese people are in Arabic, I knew I wanted to be part of that cultural exchange. My degree in Rhetoric and Criticism gave me the tools to understand the beauty of language, and I now aspire to use that to share Arabic language and culture within China, and to strengthen the connection between the Arab and Chinese worlds. This purpose drives me with unwavering determination.
