Biography

From a young age, I have been deeply fascinated by health and its profound impact on people’s lives. This passion inspired me to pursue a Bachelor’s Degree in Clinical Pharmacy and an ongoing Master’s Degree in Public Health. Through my academic journey, I’ve gained insights into the potential of these fields in various sectors, including government and daily life. My early experiences as a community pharmacist expanded my knowledge of diseases and their control, fuelling my desire to make a difference in global public health.

I am particularly interested in the intersection of health and social justice, focusing on how public health interventions can address disparities and improve outcomes for marginalized communities. This perspective led me to the Lazord Program, where I am learning to be a civic leader through systematic training. Currently, I am gaining hands-on experience as a Healthcare Coordinator with Save the Children in Egypt, implementing health projects that make a meaningful impact.
