I graduated from Saint Joseph University of Beirut with a degree in Speech Therapy in 2016 a Master’s in Speech Therapy in 2018. Currently, I run the polyclinic “De Bouche à Oreille,” which I founded in 2018. Patients with voice disorders make up a significant portion of my clientele. Being a singer myself, I wanted to combine my passion for the arts with my therapeutic skills, so I developed expertise in voice rehabilitation and vocal coaching, collaborating with Mr. Justin Stoney through the “Voice Teacher Training” program at New York Vocal Coaching. Additionally, I have held an academic role at Saint Joseph University of Beirut since 2020. I supervise internships for fourth-year speech therapy students and teach courses in voice pathology and polyphonic singing. I also lead various research projects and theses, including studies on diverse aspects of voice (transgender voice, obesity and voice, vocal assessment, and therapeutic education for singers).
