Hobbies/Interests: I’m someone who really enjoys being active, going out, and spending time around people. I love my friends and family and always enjoy making plans and finding time to get together. I also love taking videos and capturing memories along the way. I enjoy all kinds of sports, and I previously played table tennis on the National Team of Jordan.
Why Sparrow? – When I first applied to Sparrow, I already had a really good feeling and positive energy about the faculty and residents. During my interview, that feeling became even stronger. As an IMG What surprised me the most was how everyone treated each other like family and genuinely looked out for one another. I remember coming into the interview not knowing anyone, and that actually made the experience even more meaningful because everyone went out of their way to make me feel comfortable and welcome. They paid attention to the smallest details, checked in on me, and made me feel like I was already part of the family. That sense of support, connection, and community is what really drew me to Sparrow and made me feel that this was the place where I wanted to train.
