OCCUPATION
She has been a member of the Egyptian parliament's Defence and National Security Committee. "In the parliament, there is a quota for outstanding sportsmen and sportswomen; I was considered ahead of others from Cairo [Egypt] to fill the post. So, I must admit that it was table tennis that aided my going to parliament. Since I became a lawmaker, it has not been easy combining with table tennis. However, this never stopped me from following my passion and that is why I am working hard to ensure I make it to the next Paralympic Games in Japan." (ittf.com, 30 Jun 2019)
