About

Final-year Finance & Business Analytics student at Tunis Business School with a strong foundation in quantitative modeling, financial analysis, and research. As a Thomas Jefferson Scholar at Kent State University, I studied Computer Science, strengthening my technical and analytical skills through interdisciplinary research in AI. My journey spans finance ( FMVA® certified), business consulting (EY Tunisia), and leadership in AIESEC, where I worked on international partnerships, audits, and event management. These experiences helped me turn complex data and processes into clear insights, impactful strategies, and actionable solutions. I am passionate about using finance, analytics, and technology to create value, empower others, and drive sustainable impact. Currently seeking a PFE internship where I can apply my skills in FP&A, quantitative analysis, or research to deliver meaningful results.
