Welcome! :)

This is my website.

I'm an enthusiastic student always eager to learn and expand my horizons! I'm interested in CS, Stats and Data Sci, and ML.

Computer Science

My passion for CS started at a very young age when I first picked up coding at the age of 12. Ever since, I've been jumping at every opportunity to learn more about the subject.

I joined MEET, a highly selective program, in 2016. I studied CS and entrepreneurship and gained leadership skills and a deeper understanding of the reality in the Middle East. In 2018, I co-founded a startup with a team from the program.

I started pursuing my B.Sc. in Computer Science and Engineering (6-3) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Sep 2020. In my time there, I've had many opportunities to gain more skills and knowledge. I particularly enjoyed taking sotware construction, algorithm, and ML classes.

I am also pursuing a minor in statistics and data science, because I find the intersection between this field and CS to be very interesting.

After graduating, I'm hoping to pursue higher education in the field.

Education

Another passion of mine is education. I truly believe in the power of education to create a better society and improve the world we live in.

After graduating the MEET program in 2018, I started working as a CS TA, and later on as an instructor (in 2020). I learned so much from that experience, and I found so much joy and purpose in working with some of the brightest kids I've met.

Around the same time, I worked with Retorika for Multiculturalism as a Model UN mentor. I redesigned the curriculum and had the privilege of working with students from several schools across Nazareth.

At MIT today, I still get the chance to teach (and learn) through the several teaching positions that I took on over my years at the institute.

The power of teaching stems from the impact educators have on their students, which something I've observed during my years as an educator, and also during my years as a student watching great teachers who will have an impact on me for years to come.
