A Legacy of Advocacy and Pageantry
Ayoub is not new in the international pageantry world. Her first appearance was in 2022, when she was crowned Miss Palestine. Also that same year, she competed in Miss Earth and reached the top five, earning the title of Miss Water. This was a remarkable feat for her country.
Nadeen is a trained wellness and nutrition coach, she holds a degree in literature and psychology, and runs the Olive Green Academy in Dubai, a pioneering institution focused on sustainability training powered by AI.

From Pause to Platform: Though slated for international pageants, Ayoub postponed her Miss Universe journey amid the conflict in Gaza, believing that the spotlight belonged on those suffering rather than on her.
Now, with renewed purpose, she’s embracing the platform, not just with beauty, but with a message:
“Today, I step onto the Miss Universe stage not just with a title,but with a truth… We are more than our suffering, we are resilience, hope, and the heartbeat of a homeland that lives on through us.”
To Nadeen, being Miss Universe isn’t about elegance alone, it’s a responsibility. “When you have that power, you have a responsibility to speak out,” she said, adding that no one should remain silent in the face of injustice.

The Miss Universe Organization has warmly welcomed her, describing Ayoub as “an accomplished advocate and model who embodies the resilience and determination that define our platform.”

Her role blends heritage with advocacy, and she roots her activism in empathy and cultural pride.
