Hello and Welcome!

I’ve lived in Miami, Houston, Los Angeles, Rancho Cucamonga, and now, Washington D.C. and every city shaped me in a different way. Moving often taught me how to connect quickly, adapt to new environments, and value diverse perspectives. I grew up in a Lebanese household where hard work and humility were constant themes. My parents encouraged me to show up fully in every space, whether that was the classroom, a rehearsal, or a community project. These experiences set the tone for who I am today: someone who values growth, service, and building real relationships.

I’m currently a Politics major with a minor in Psychology at New York University. My classes explore public systems, decision-making, and how policies affect real lives. Before NYU, I took challenging courses and participated in academic programs that deepened my interest in critical thinking, advocacy, and research. I’m committed to approaching my education thoughtfully and using what I learn in practical ways. Whether through essays, class discussions, or involvement in campus initiatives, I’m excited to build connections between what I study and the kinds of change I hope to support in the world.

  I’ve always been drawn to activities where people work toward something creative and purposeful. In high school, I took part in marching band, concert choir, mock trial, and varsity swimming, serving in leadership roles like student director and section leader. These roles gave me experience in public speaking, teamwork, and guiding others through shared goals. Now in college, I’m continuing to grow through campus organizations and internships that allow me to expand my skills in new settings. I’m grateful for every opportunity that blends leadership, collaboration, and real-world impact.
