What is your best memory of WSSU? The best memory I had at WSSU was becoming one the best mid-distance runner that Coach Turner had coached. I knew I had to just believe in her program and it will get me to my destination. That destination currently held me to 3 school records, CIAA Champion ( XC, Indoor, and Outdoor), All-Region, and the best of all memories was becoming a 2016 NCAA DII Outdoor qualifier for the 800 meters. I was selected to compete at the highest collegiate level anyone can ever ask for. Can you believe I have accomplished so much within just three months under her training? Words until today can never be explained how much my coach really impacted my life. She made me realize that nothing was never impossible if I put my mind to it and work hard, because hard work and having faith was the one thing I had held on so tight. I never found anyone that realized the potential and talent I had until I had met her at WSSU. So for that, I thank the university for having her part of the school because she saved my career. 

What do you love about WSSU? I love this school because not only does it challenge students mentally, but giving a chance to those who are willing to try and succeed. I really love the fact being a student-athlete our coaches and academic advisers are always on top of there game when it comes to grades. They are always looking out for us and to make sure we on the right track of graduating.

What do you plan on doing after you graduate? I plan to go after my dream and that is to run for my country " EGYPT" and to be part of the next Olympic Games 2020. 

How has WSSU prepared you for the future? It has prepared me mentally because WSSU challenged me a lot. Whether it was in class or on the track, i was always challenged to see where my potential can take me; and for that I grew into a strong independent young wom
