to start my career path in Architectural engineering and urban design
I had the chance to understand clearly the concept of individuals' social responsibility and practice it effectively during my volunteering and professional life.
While visiting many inhuman slum areas characterized by many natural resources that could be restructured to improve their citizens' lives, and meeting talented, passionate individuals fighting to reach their dreams with the minimum resources that allowed for them, my decision to study urban planning with sustainable development tools was gradual and considered. These experiences exaggerated my desire for studying global development policies. Guided me to attend conferences, workshops, and to search deeply on the applications of architectural engineering to start my career path in Architectural engineering and urban design.
Currently, I'm a freelance architect managing and designing architectural projects in my city, where my responsibilities varied from implementing green conceptual solutions, managing execution phases, and customizing efficient solutions for each challenge. In Parallel, managing an international initiative in the Middle East aim to spread awareness about women health care for refugees and for local females.
In order to, my effective contribution in the civil community, I'm one of the youngest project managers in a developing non-profit organization, successful and biggest community improving agent in 28 governorates. Where I'm leading and designing national awareness campaigns, youth models, and social development movements.
These experiences have developed and strengthened my leadership and managerial skills, reinforced my communication skills while working with various types of clients, individuals, and organizations, and empowered my personal skills to manage talents and challenges effectively.
My 5 years of academic studies shaped my profound understanding of how different communities form, work, and change.
While studying urban geography, urban planning and placemaking, environmental studies, heritage preservation, and theories of urban design, I was fascinated by the boundless effects of urban design that expand beyond designing districts and towns to shift humans' behaviors and mindsets. The program offered practical experiences through visiting historical Egyptian cities, architectural competitions, site visits in national urban design projects, and conferences with inspirational architectural professors.
This successful experience was a key element that strengthened my desire to pursue a master degree in urban planning. Guided me to discover that I'm willing to go the extra mile in terms of exploring both the ethical and practical challenges of planning. By studying a master degree in urban planning I will deepen my understanding of global policies and environmental solutions that could be implemented to create a better integration between communities and nature. My professional skills to lead national and international development projects will be strengthened. By devoting my previous professional and social experiences to build international networks of professors, researchers, and social leaders. And spread needed awareness for other individuals to improve their communities.
