A solid foundation in mathematics, sciences, and business studies during my GCSEs.

I served as a Welfare Officer at the Harmony with Nature Society SOAS, promoting community and well-being among members while honing my interpersonal skills. My recent role as a Research Intern at FrontierView in London allowed me to delve deep into economic, political, and business trends across various sectors in the Middle East and Africa. I authored reports on HR and talent trends and the tech industry in the MENA region, contributing to informed decision-making for senior executives.
