What I'm looking for

Seeking a dynamic role in financial analysis or economic research where I can apply my data analysis skills and contribute to informed decision-making in a growth-oriented environment.

I am a driven and analytical individual with a strong academic background in Financial and Quantitative Economics, complemented by a minor in Political Science from The American University in Cairo. My experience as a Financial Analyst at AUC's Economics Department has equipped me with hands-on expertise in data collection, statistical modeling, and portfolio management using tools like R and Bloomberg.

During my internship at Arab African International Bank, I gained insights into HR policies and procedures, enhancing my understanding of organizational operations. Additionally, I have led various academic projects, including a collaborative online learning initiative with Sheridan College and a research paper exploring behavioral economics.

My extracurricular roles, such as heading the Organization Committee for AUC's Economics Association, demonstrate my leadership and organizational skills. I am proficient in both English and Arabic, with technical skills in R, STATA, Python, and financial data platforms like Refinitiv and Bloomberg.
