- Career aspirations include one of my primary goals after playing and receiving my education from UC Irvine is to become a professional soccer player. This is a goal no Egyptian female has accomplished yet, alongside playing Division 1 college soccer. Secondly, I want to pursue a career in sports management, which is what I'm planning on obtaining a Master's Degree in. After achieving my goals as a footballer, I aspire to become the first woman president of the Egyptian Football Association; combining my experience in soccer along with my future knowledge of sports management.
- After talking to Coach Scott when making a decision, I decided that UC Irvine was the best fit for me both academically and athletically. Besides being one of the best schools in the country, its graduation rates and the positive outcomes for its alumni post-graduation are also impressive.
- Every Ramadan I would spend a couple of days during this holy month helping charities pack food boxes for the less fortunate. I did this with a non-profit organization, The Egyptian Food Bank, in which their main aim is to reduce levels of poverty and hunger in Egypt. Additionally, in efforts to contribute, I often clear out my wardrobe and donate clothes to orphanages, and charity groups. I also participate in school charity trips, where we go visit orphanages and bring the kids toys and clothes.
