Born and raised in Doha Qatar, I always had a thing for being out there.. Living in a small city where everyone knows everyone it was a must to distinguish yourself and excel at what you do. In high school I started studying Accounting where i found myself Acing every single exam, people started to come and ask me for help and i started feeling that i am meant to study Accounting. I went on to College and of course i majored in Accounting, it was what i was good at. In my second year i started getting bored and not motivated to continue and that is when i applied to a program to travel to U.S. and learn about the culture and try to understand the importance of social work and volunteering. It literally changed my life, i grew a passion for social work and youth development, helping people and developing myself; and in the process i fell in love with photography and filmography. When i came back i decided to make a difference and take on a leadership role in a student organization called AIESEC that i was a member of. I gained a lot of experience in various fields and discovered my love to marketing, communications and social Media. By the age of 23 I had already plenty of success stories that i will always be proud of. I decided then that i need to take a risk; after i was done with my finance minor, I decided to drop all these subjects and study Marketing. I also decided that I need a break from all this and that i had to do some soul searching. Through AIESEC I took an internship in Indonesia where i volunteered to go work in an orphanage teaching Arabic and English and creating some activities for the kids who have lost their families in the late Earthquake. I also volunteered to help with two projects; one was for raising awareness about HIV/AIDS and the second was about raising awareness about the Earthquakes and security measurements needed to save as much lives as possible when these Earthquakes visit back. I came back to Qatar refreshed and focused, i went on and took an Accounting Internship for University credits but my main focus was back to Marketing and youth development. I carried on with my position in AIESEC and I was the National VP responsible for Marketing, communications and finances, had huge successes in my term and left the organization with my head held high. I then graduated from University and was awarded by my college and the Scientific Accounting Association & Qatari Association of Certified Public Accountants.
