I am Rebin N. Hamadamin, from northern Iraq, specifically Erbil city, Kurdistan region. I am 32 years old, married since 2017, with one child.

I graduated in different subjects such as technical survey, software engineering, and finance. However, due to the financial crisis and conflicts during the last few years, I couldn’t find a proper job matching my experience and educational background. Therefore, I had to join the humanitarian sector to support the conflict-affected people.

I have worked with different international humanitarian organizations since 2014.

I am seeking to improve and enhance my skills through this program at UniAthena. I am also exploring better opportunities for the future.

Learning administration and risk management are my next steps. I am also looking for international positions in humanitarian organizations for the future.

I enjoy watching documentary programs and innovation and technology updates.

• Water is the main thing that I would take 
• Second, First Aid kit 
• Third, protein and energy bars

I keep calm and avoid stress, then identify the issue and take proper actions to resolve it.

I lost my job because of changing the direction of my career. I had to change my career from WASH to livelihoods. I started from scratch to improve my technical skills to keep me on track with job requirements.

I would have changed my educational certificates from software and surveyor to business administration and finance, because all these years did not help me find a job aligned with my educational background.

I wanted to become a technical engineer.

I read a novel about life and its challenges.

I saw the Squid game series.

In my personal life, my wife because she pushed me to take this adventure and start learning again. Professionally, it is my current supervisor who has always been supportive and helps in capacity building, and understands/listens to my personal and professional challenges.
