From a young age, I was drawn to the power of stories and their ability to shape societies, which inspired me to study journalism at Yarmouk University. After graduating with a Bachelor’s degree in Journalism and Mass Communication in 2006, I began my media career as a news editor for the Gulf Research Center’s well-known political and economic websites. Those early years gave me a solid foundation in media analysis, content creation, and effective communication. Eager to expand my knowledge and make a broader impact, I pursued a Master’s degree in Mass Communication at Arkansas State University. My thesis focused on how Jordanian students interacted with blogs—a groundbreaking study during a time when digital media was still emerging. This experience sparked my interest in the intersection of technology and media, paving the way for my Ph.D. journey at Michigan State University, where I explored the complexities of digital journalism and media psychology. My doctoral dissertation, which compared crisis coverage by journalists and citizen bloggers in Egypt, received recognition for its innovative approach and relevance to society. After completing my Ph.D., I returned to Jordan with a clear mission: to help shape the next generation of journalists and media professionals. I joined Yarmouk University as an Associate Professor, where I have spent over a decade integrating teaching, research, and leadership to enhance journalism education. My courses have included investigative journalism, data journalism, and media ethics, reflecting my commitment to equipping students with practical skills and a strong ethical foundation. Throughout my career, I have taken on leadership roles that have enabled me to make a meaningful impact. As Chair of the Journalism Department and later as Vice Dean of the College of Mass Communication, I have advocated for innovative curriculum development, faculty mentorship, and international collaboration. Additionally, I serve as the Director of Public Relations at Yarmouk University.
