Bio

Hi! I am a Middle Eastern freshman at San Diego State University with a passion for Computer Science. Throughout my life, I have aspired to make an impact in my educational, cultural, and STEM community. So far, I have shaped my life to achieve these goals, whether it is by helping immunocompromised pediatric patients or teaching immigrants and refugees Arabic and English. With years of experience in the California and Greater San Diego Science and Engineering Fair, I studied various science subjects such as nervous tissue regeneration, mental health among high school students during the pandemic, and technology's impact on reading comprehension. With this, I am fortunate to have won numerous awards and look forward to continuing to nourish this curiosity in my undergraduate career.
