What I'm looking for

I’m especially interested in opportunities that bring together technology, education, and sustainability in Egypt and the wider region.

At Matific, I supported a UNICEF-funded digital mathematics pilot across 11 public schools in Aswan, reaching 782 students. I coordinated with schools and partners, supported teacher onboarding, and analysed engagement data to understand where students needed more support.

At Arizona State University, I managed planning and delivery for exchange and training activities connecting Egyptian students and faculty with learning opportunities, internships, and professional networks. At AMIDEAST, I managed U.S. study abroad programs for Egyptian students under USAID’s Higher Education Initiative.

Earlier, I supported Egyptian start-ups and social enterprises at Misr El Kheir’s GESR incubator, including founders working in water, education, and technology. That experience shaped my interest in moving promising ideas into practice.

I’m pursuing a Master of Science in Global Technology and Development at Arizona State University, focused on international development and sustainability. At SolarSPELL, I support the development and curation of Arabic educational resources for offline digital libraries, with a focus on linguistic accuracy, cultural relevance, and accessibility.
