She was an English teacher, before she joined the News Center as a sports anchor, and in 2011 became chief editor of the sports bulletin news. She started presenting variety shows through the ''Weekend'' program, which soon became a hit show. She then presented the Ramadan competition show ''Albarastii'', which gained success due in part to the spontaneous of the show and the use of Bahraini slang instead of classical Arabic.
