Hey Anas,
I had a look at your profile and I feel that you need to spend some time filling out the rest of the sections. Please do that and when ready, I would be happy to have a look and give suggestions. I also think you should lower your rate initially.

Hey Cynthia,
I've seen your profile seems good but I'd advise you to keep your hourly rate down since you've no experience or work history here on Upwork.
I know it's possible that you're a brilliant and hardworking person having a extensive experience outside but you really need to get some clients first on lower rate and make your profile strong.
Then You're good to go 😊
Wish you good luck,
Samran

In general, it looks good, some thiings to look at

The key is to basically continue to submit proposals.

What can we do about these people that want free work ? You do it right, then they want a refund.
