What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic role that fosters growth, collaboration, and innovation.

As an Economics student, I have gained valuable hands-on experience in marketing, HR, and event management. My journey has been marked by a proven ability to lead and organize large-scale conferences, showcasing my leadership skills and commitment to excellence. Currently, I am honing my analytical skills in Excel, SQL, and SEO to support informed business decision-making.

During my internship at Tawzea Water Distribution Company, I contributed to the HR department by drafting job descriptions and conducting research on departmental needs. My marketing internship at Cura Clinic allowed me to implement targeted Instagram campaigns, resulting in a significant increase in patient engagement. Additionally, my role as a Social Media Marketing Intern at Society is Mad involved developing SEO-optimized content that boosted audience reach by 30%.

Beyond my internships, I have taken on leadership roles in various organizations, including co-founding the Business and Economics Society at my school. I have organized multiple events and workshops, fostering a collaborative environment for students to explore business and economics topics. My experience in Model UN has further enhanced my public speaking and presentation skills, allowing me to mentor peers and contribute to our delegation's success at external conferences.
