*Former Lebanon national team player, now a sports sociologist, researcher and journalist.
Her story
Aged 12, she joined a local club in Lebanon and eventually earned the honor of representing her country with the national team.
Still, she constantly faced the gender stereotypes that come along with playing a sport traditionally perceived as male dominated.
Determined to change the narrative, she decided to combine lived experience with academic knowledge. She earned a bachelor’s degree in physical education and a master’s in sports management in Lebanon, before moving to France to pursue a PhD in Sports Sociology.
