Professionally, I am currently working on the development of new products and services aimed at solving social and economic problems on a global scale via Mastercard’s Foundry following graduation from NYU Stern’s Tech & Entrepreneurship MBA program with a specialization in Product Management. However, I am also an avid tatreez (Palestinian embroidery) practitioner and have conducted extensive research on the subject during my pursuit of an MA in Near Eastern Studies at NYU’s Hagop Kevorkian Center for Near Eastern Studies (graduated May 2022). You can follow my creative journey on Instagram by searching for the handle @linasthobe and where I recently revealed my first handmade thobe.
