Noha is eternally in love with everything words. Reading, writing, storytelling, and indulging in conversations over coffee and tiramisu are among the many things that make life significant for her. She has been a content writer since 2016, making knowledge and ideas more accessible and getting herself strikingly amazed by all that she gets to learn and write about.

With an equally eternal love for cats, especially her very own, the fluffy ginger one and only Coco, baking, exploring the world on foot, staring at the sky, feeding tail-wiggling stray dogs, and that purple-flower-blossoming tree across the street, Noha writes to educate, inspire, engage, and help shape the narrative of what she believes in as much as she does to find meaning and a sense of purpose.
