I’m running for Project Coordinator because I’m passionate about turning ideas into sustainable, measurable solutions that create real impact. I’m especially driven by Enactus’ entrepreneurial mission- empowering people with the skills, opportunities, and confidence to build better outcomes for themselves and their communities.

 A few ways I’ve built the skills that would help me support Enactus project teams:

• As a consultant at 180 Degrees Consulting, I’ve worked on analysing organisational challenges + translating research into practical recommendations.
• I’ve also led teams, serving as Co-President of my school’s Debate Club, where I coordinated over 50+ students and implemented structured training programmes.
• Additionally, I led the Youth Ambassadors division of PWA, an NGO in Bahrain, where I held multiple community events to raise money for educational scholarships, as well as helped facilitate the creation of a functional library for a low-income school. 

• In addition, my previous research has focused on the same problem-solving mindset that defines Enactus: translating complex socio-economic challenges - such as lack of mental health access and agricultural and education gaps - into evidence-led solutions &  would bring this same mindset to foster innovative thinking and support teams from early ideation through to developing high-impact, sustainable solutions.

   I'd love to contribute more to this incredible society that is driving meaningful change in the world! 🙏💐
