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.
