She has been working in sporadic and simple work since she was 12 years old. She has four sisters and two brothers. At the age of 18, she obtained a high school diploma, but this was not enough to enter the university and she had to enter a private university. She stopped studying for three years in order to work, so she could pay the annual tuition fees of the university. At the age of 21 she started studying English literature for a year, but soon the war broke out in Syria and she had to abandon university. In the meantime, she started working in civil society organizations and began teaching students the english language on a voluntary basis. She worked in teaching children for five years. In 2015, the place that she used to work in teaching had been destroyed by Mortar shells. After that, the decision to resort to Europe was taken.
