Haneen Elnaqleh graduated with a degree in language and literature from Al-Quds Open University. She currently works as a nurse, but is planning a career shift because she is also an artist and, in her words, “creativity is where I truly thrive.”

She is passionate about art, poetry, innovation, and thinking beyond the ordinary. For Haneen, writing poetry is like solving a puzzle, painting a picture, and making music all at once. “I’m all about exploring new perspectives and making an impact in my own way,” she says.
