## About

```text
At Awal Nouzilal, I oversee daily operations and youth programming while leading a team of 15 Moroccan youth. I directed 15 community youth-led projects focused on education, leadership, cultural preservation, and community development.

I developed four cross-cultural exchange events with Where There Be Dragons, engaging American students and Moroccan youth in language exchange, cultural learning, and community activities. I also led cultural facilitation training for incoming Peace Corps Trainees.

At Villanova University, I facilitated translation, cultural orientation, and community integration for American students in rural Moroccan villages. I led six translators transcribing and translating interview footage from Tamazight and Darija into English.

As a Peace Corps Volunteer Counterpart, I facilitated Darija and Moroccan culture sessions, delivered English lessons using 4MAT-based planning, and co-facilitated the International Youth Foundation Passport to Success program. I also have experience in youth program design, cross-cultural facilitation, and documentary production.
