LebanonWhat I'm looking for
I am a dedicated car mechanic apprentice with a passion for automotive restoration and a strong commitment to learning.

This hands-on experience has deepened my mechanical knowledge and technical abilities, allowing me to contribute effectively to the motorsport field.
In addition to my work on the buggy, I have gained valuable experience at Simon Rizk Garage, where I assist in diagnosing mechanical issues in cars and motorcycles. My role involves supporting the disassembly and reassembly of engine parts and communicating with team members to ensure efficient repairs. I take pride in my attention to detail and my eagerness to learn from experienced mechanics, which has significantly enhanced my practical skills.
Alongside my mechanical pursuits, I have a background in financial reporting, where I developed strong analytical and organizational skills. My ability to compile and present financial data accurately complements my technical expertise, making me a well-rounded candidate for future opportunities in the automotive industry.
