About Me
I'm an avid traveler with a passion for yoga and sustainability. Growing up in Boston with parents of Middle Eastern decent, I thrive in diverse environments, pushing me to spend 6 month backpacking around the globe this past year. I love meeting people from around the world, being on teams, whether it's sports teams or in the office, and challenging myself to participate in new and intersting activities regularly. I decided to pursue a Masters in Management to further these opportunities and equip myself with the right tools to become an influential leader in the business world.
