Biography
Nisrine's fascination with communication began long before it became her profession. After migrating to Australia at six years of age, Nisrine grew up across three languages — Arabic, French and English — giving her an early experience of the relationship between language, identity and belonging.
She went on to become a speech pathologist and complete a research master's exploring how children's language and literacy can be supported through everyday interactions.
Across more than two decades, Nisrine's work has extended across speech pathology practice, research, university teaching, professional supervision, early childhood settings, community programs, storytelling and writing.
She is the author of I Have a Magic Ball, an interactive children's book inspired by her belief that children learn through imagination, movement, play and meaningful interaction.
Nisrine is also the founder of Talking Triumphs Speech Therapy & Communication Consultancy, where she brings together her clinical experience, research, teaching and relationship-centred approach to communication.
Across all of her work is a simple belief: Communication is more than words. It is life-giving, relational and human.

From the Author
“As a speech therapist, I have been passionate about promoting early reading experiences as a strong foundation for literacy."
"Throughout my career I have met many children who find it hard to enjoy and participate in book reading interactions just by sitting and listening. I have worked with families and educators that want to know more about supporting children to read without it being a struggle."
"My vision is that while reading this book any child aged 2-6 will engage and connect to the joyous world of the written word through a multi-sensory experience."
