My whole family encourages me, and my father provides me with all the tools and materials I need while my mom registers me in all competitions and exhibitions.

Moreover, the 12-year-old confirmed that she won first place in the Creative Child Festival nationwide and achieved first place in the Our Arab Writers Forum competition, and her winning works were featured in a book.

She also achieved fourth place in the second forum for the young artist under the supervision of the Ministry of Culture and won the title of Arab Artist in the International Arab Artist Competition under the supervision of the International Federation of Arab Plastic Artists.
