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.
