Academic areas of interest

I am very curious about economic theory and its applications in improving our quality of life today. I hope to learn more about related fields such as mathematics, political science, philosophy, etc, to frame a better understanding of economics.

Activities & Hobbies

I am strongly committed to community service in education. I founded a non-profit offering free academic programs to underprivileged Syrian students and led multiple other initiatives to support the education of students from conflict zones and ethnic minorities worldwide (including in the MENA region, Hong Kong, and Thailand). In my free time, I like to think and articulate my thoughts through creative writing and debate. I am also active in sports and music.

Future Plans

I plan to use the education I receive at the University of Pennsylvania to advise and advocate for economic policies that improve societies’ quality of life and advance the economies of developed countries. I also hope to contribute to the research being conducted in the field of economics.
