About

"From a young age, my passion for learning and exploration led me to dive into various clubs and activities. This early exposure ignited my love for STEM and creativity. Volunteering, participating in creativity clubs, and attending seminars fueled my journey. Throughout middle and high school, I excelled in STEM, participating in competitions like ISEF and a cultural exchange programs. My interest in sustainable development (SDGs) grew, leading to involvement in youth awareness camps and environmental initiatives like beach cleanups. In university, I pursued mechanical engineering while maintaining my commitment to SDGs. Over the past four years, I've achieved numerous first-place awards in local and international engineering competitions and exhibitions. I also got interenships with international companies like Siemens. for several times i got recognitions from the university presidency and Prime Minister that highlight my dedication and achievements. Beyond STEM, I've actively contributed to SDG initiatives, participating in COP27, LCOY conferences, and projects with UNICEF and the US Embassy. My ability to balance academic excellence with a strong commitment to social and environmental causes demonstrates my well-rounded approach to life."
