SDGs Journey
I’m creating short documentaries, and when I explore rural areas, I often come across situations that are related to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In these instances, I’m driven to find solutions and ensure that the voices of the people affected are heard.
Biggest Wins
I want to express my gratitude to Amr Ramadan for providing me with the opportunity to become a part of Empower 2030 leaders. In this role, I served as a media instructor for the Climate Leader Hub in 2022. This allowed me to train and mentor young individuals in the art of crafting compelling stories through short videos, with the goal of raising awareness about important issues that may otherwise go unnoticed. Additionally, I had the privilege of serving as a media instructor for NASA Space Apps Cairo 2022.
Hobbies
I combined my love for filmmaking, which has always been my passion, to showcase real-life stories, kickboxing, my favorite sport, and my passion for traveling.
