About

I am an International Baccalaureate graduate from The International School of Elite Education in Egypt (M25), currently pursuing my studies at The American University in Cairo as an undeclared MICT student. I founded PocketIB, a digital hub for IB resources tailored to the 2025 syllabus, where I led the development and creation for over 150 hours. I have also worked in multimedia and event production as the Multimedia Head at OMAM MUN, where I produced photography and videography for the first Arabic-speaking MUN, and contributed to TEDx through creative media and event production. My interests lie at the intersection of creativity and technology. I am passionate about photography, filmmaking, and acting, while also developing skills in web development, SQL, Photoshop, and emerging AI technologies. I enjoy exploring new technologies and understanding how they can be applied creatively and practically. Beyond technology and media, I have participated in international competitions such as the World Scholar's Cup and developed awareness websites focused on dyslexia and the UN Sustainable Development Goals, reflecting my interest in education, communication, and social impact. I am a native Arabic speaker, fluent in English, and have intermediate French proficiency (B1).
