Where are you from?
I was Born in Kuwait, Raised in Jordan and originally from Palestine. I hold a Jordanian passport, but I think of these three countries as my hometown.

What’s a fun fact about you?
I have a drawer in my desk at work which is full of chocolate and chips, Everyone in the company keeps making jokes about how I could open a supermarket with these things, and what’s more fun is that I can finish them all in one day, so yeah I love Chocolate.
What would your dream job look like?
It would look like me sitting in a big office with a nametag written on the Desk “Head of Media”.
Why did you decide to start the Digital Marketing specialization?
Well, I wanted to learn digital marketing like ages before, and I took so many courses and stuff but not one of them was as much beneficial as this course. I started working as a digital marketer but did not have enough experience to fully handle all the stuff, so my company suggested that I would take this course to learn and grow, and I am so grateful that I did.
What has been the most interesting thing you’ve learned through the course you are on?
Well, since I am still in the first course, I would say that learning about the 4 Ps of marketing was really both great and fun. There are many things that I did not know before, and now I feel like I am more confident when it comes to this subject.
Have you gotten a chance to apply Digital Marketing concepts in your daily life?
No Yet, I’m hoping I will soon get the chance to apply what I learn in my work which is the reason why I took the course from the first place.
How do you plan your schedule to make time for Digital Marketing courses?
Well, I take one hour from my working hours to finish the course, and sometimes I do the assignments on the weekend because they have a specific deadlines.
Do you have any advice for new learners or for those who may be unsure about starting the specialization?
Well, I would really recommend this course to anyone whose passion is to be a professional digital marketer, and let them know that this course needs focus, hard work and dedication.
Nice. You must be the most popular person in the office, if you have a drawer full of chocolate. Best of luck, and look forward to you sitting in an office labelled ‘Head of Media.’
