* Personality and Hobbies:

First of all as a person who was born and had lived in several countries and mixed with different cultures I like meeting new people discover new cultures. Secondly, three years of work experience with UNRWA & MSF (doctors Without Borders) in the Gaza Strip has taught me a lot about the team work, how to manage work under stress, how to manage best performance working with foreign psychologists from many different places in the world who have much different experiences of work than what we have here, so I can say that I get on very well with people from different cultures I give them a lot of things regarding our culture and problems we face more in our society as I learn from them a lot about professional and cultural issues. I like so much traveling, reading and sport and I believe that with good management of time we can do a lot of interesting things beside the professional work that we do.
