Nibal Software Engineering graduate from Al Quds University, now working as a Senior Software Engineer for a Global Networking Company. Picture May 2023 in Nibal’s workplace
NIbal was one of the very first JAEP graduates, graduating in 2014. During early monitoring visits, the JAEP team joined Nibal for a class, was invited to her home to share a meal and to meet Nibal’s siblings and parents.
After graduating in 2014, Nibal ‘s first job was as a games programming in Bethlehem. Followed by working for various start up software companies in Bethlehem and Ramallah. In February 2020 she was appointed as a software engineer for a Global Networking company. Nibal is now a Senior Software Engineer and works in Caesarea in Israel. The only Palestinian on the payroll. Nibal said to us.
“Thank you JAEP without your support I would not have a degree. Working in Israel means my salary is higher. Family and friends ask for financial help to fund their studies. When they bring money to pay back the debt, I always says no, but ask the person to give the money to someone else who needs help, I call this a chain reaction.”
“JAEP gave me the opportunity to pursue with my goals, and today I am celebrating my success and remembering their support at each step, which inspired me to do the same for other dreamers.”
