about me

 hi, i'm tuqa

on the professional side, i'm a graduate student studying public policy and its connection to digital technology. i'm very interested in the integration of digital tech into our everyday lives, but specifically things like courts and government systems. i'm also interested on the impact of early access to technology and the internet on children. i don't know if i wanna do a phd or just get my masters, but we shall see (´。• ᵕ •。`) ! i'm also a big space nerd and hope to integrate my love for the cosmos and policy in the future. i just know its a field out there somewhere. it sounds funny but bridgit mendler is my inspiration for her own ability to integrate space and the law. 

on the daily side, i am a girl with so many interests it could fill an entire website (lol). i would describe myself as very in-tune with my childhood, and i endulge in many things i used to do as a kid - games, cartoons, books, etc. i'd say video games are my favourite thing in the world. i play all kinds of video games and especially love the cozy farm-type games like stardew valley. i definitely don't shy away from first-person shooter games like overwatch though. i have been a nintendo girl since the release of the DSi, and i hope to complete a collection of all the nintendo consoles in the future. i also believe in supporting artists and developers by buying their games, but know when to hack a system for free games if they act too money-hungry (nintendo im talking about you). i am also a huge fan of the old MMORPGs that i used to play as a kid -- club penguin, fantage, kingdom hearts union x, moshi monsters, tinierme, and so so SO much more. i love watching videos on MMOs and finding communities that used to play them. 

i also enjoy cooking! i have a tiktok account where i post my cooking videos. i like making a variety of simple things - soups and sweets are my favourites. the hardest thing i've ever made were eclairs. they weren't perfect, but they were such an enjoyable process. if the universe was structured so i could have different life accounts, i'd definitely try a life where i start my own cafe with its niche - perhaps a pottery cafe. 

i am also working toward learning all the recipes my parents know. they cook a lot of arab dishes and i'm really excited to learn from them everyday. it's a beautiful feeling knowing i can take the stress of cooking away from them, and can feed them things they enjoy.
