About Me

I like to move forward. I work hard, I’m ambitious, and I enjoy learning, whether it’s something academic, a new skill, or a new way of looking at things.

I grew up in Lebanon, and travel has shaped a lot of how I think. Time in Canada, the U.S., Europe, Japan, Korea and Brazil gave me a broader perspective and made me more adaptable. Seeing different cultures up close helped me understand people better and stay open to new ideas.

I’m also very competitive. Whatever it is, a match, a game or an event, I want to win, and that’s what pushes me to keep getting better. At the same time I’m always open to learning, whether it comes from a class, advice from a mentor, or my own mistakes.

Outside of class I keep myself busy. I cook, draw, read, play bass and take photos, and I’ll join pretty much any game going, usually football or volleyball. And a lot of it is simply time spent with my friends. I pick up hands-on skills quickly, so I’m always happy to try a new hobby.

Right now my focus is simple: stay curious, keep growing, and take every opportunity to learn something new.
