I'm Alaa Badran (she/they), a Canadian citizen with roots in the heart of Damascus, Syria. These days, I call qathet (Powell River) home – aka paradise, where nature paints the sky with magical sunsets. I'm a poetry-loving, music-vibing, art-admiring soul with a deep love for soccer (Viva España!). My curiosity knows no bounds – I’m fascinated by psychology, somatic healing, the mysteries of space and the cosmic whispers of horoscopes. By day, I'm an Employment Counsellor at Lift Employment Services Program, where I get to do what I love most – connecting with people, guiding them on their career journeys and offering the support they need to thrive. Let's talk stars, dreams and everything in between!
