What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can apply macroeconomic forecasting and policy analysis within institutions focused on evidence-based development, multilateral engagement, and impact-driven planning.

I am an economic researcher currently supporting the Minister’s Office at the Ministry of Planning and Economic Development in Egypt, bringing hands-on experience in macroeconomic analysis, forecasting, and ministerial-level policy exposure.

I graduated in Economics from London South Bank University with Second Class Honours and a 3.7 GPA, and I am pursuing an MA in International Relations to strengthen expertise in global governance and multilateral policy analysis.

My work involves quantitative modelling using niGEM, R and Stata, preparing regular economic newsletters, drafting analytical briefs for senior stakeholders, and participating in IMF, UN and World Bank technical meetings to align policy frameworks.

I have institutional exposure from internships at the Central Bank of Egypt and the Egyptian Exchange, public engagement experience as an economic commentator on national television, and a published piece on green jobs in the Gulf Development Forum.
