Nirmeen Hijjawi

I was born in Kuwait and raised in Jordan by two loving parents who worked hard and loved life. We traveled often and had diverse groups of friends and a universal taste for food. I attribute my ability to relate to many people to that upbringing. I love to connect with people, celebrate our differences, and see them as an opportunity to enrich each other’s lives.

I am curious and have a passion for knowledge; both attributes allow me to dip unreluctantly into different languages, topics, and skills. I am fascinated by situations that frustrate others. I often think of the origin of all things as well as their ultimate potential, and this enables me to find the best strategic path between the two. If you change the way you see things, the things you see will change. I show up for myself and for those around me every day, and I hope to inspire others to do the same.
