I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in environmental engineering and a Diploma in occupational safety. I work as an assistant researcher and teacher in the environmental engineering section of the wastewater labs. I worked for two years on studies relating to wastewater from local industries, as well as on clean production projects. I am an active member of the Palestinian Standards Institution that is involved with environmental matters. I have recently published four scientific papers and have written a number of educational articles about the environment in local newspapers. I volunteered under the Union of Agricultural Work Committees for land reclamation and water harvesting projects in the Palestinian Hydrology Group, and in Hebron municipality for drinking water labs. I want to establish an investment company for environmental services that would be the first of its kind in Palestine. I am currently setting up the core elements of an environmentally friendly business.
