Academic Areas of Interest

“I’m planning on pursuing a double concentration in Finance & Business economics and Public policy at the Wharton School of Business. I’m also considering minoring in computer science.”

Activities & Hobbies

“So many! I’m passionate about women’s rights and civic engagement. Thus, I’m interested in joining the board of Wharton Women and putting forth ideas on how to support women in Business. I also love theater, and I’m excited to audition for the play “dryland” this fall. I also love coffee and hanging out with friends.”

Future Plans

“In the coming years, I plan on taking advantage of the different study-abroad opportunities at Penn. I aspire to deepen my world view even more and be a global citizen. After completing my Bachelor degree at Penn, I’m considering pursuing a Masters degree in Business Administration (MBA). Career wise, I can see myself working for an international consulting firm, and eventually launching my own business in Tunisia.”
