What I'm looking for
I am a highly motivated project manager with a strong academic foundation in political science, development, and governance.

My B.Sc. in Political Science (Honours) from The British University in Egypt and Loughborough University, UK, emphasized International Humanitarian Law. Graduating with honors has equipped me with exceptional analytical, research, and problem-solving skills.

My role involves optimizing project management tools, ensuring compliance with EU sustainability requirements, and maintaining high client satisfaction through transparent communication. My previous experience includes coordinating significant frameworks at the Ministry of Investment and International Cooperation in Egypt, where I facilitated high-level dialogues and developed strategic briefs that enhanced Egypt's international investment narrative.
