About Me:

I was born in Boston, grew up in Beirut, and have an Austrian mother. I learned French, Arabic, English (3 official languages in Lebanon) and German. I consider myself to be a global citizen, culturally attuned to 3 continents, with an international outlook.
I completed my high school (IB program) education in Beirut, Lebanon, followed by a BSc in Biology (minor in history) at the University of Michigan (2013-17), and gaining my MD from St. George’s University of London (2017-21); I did 2 yrs of clinical and AI research (2021-23) and 6 months of clinical training in California. I like sports, books, travel.

Big Life Wins:

Lifelong dream of becoming a doctor was realized at 26 – this was a major milestone in my development on a personal and professional level. Publishing an original study during my postdoc work at MGH Harvard Med School was a major feat which I could not have done without excellent mentorship.

Post MBA Goal:

My post-MBA goals are broken down into short-term and long-term goals; I hope to secure a role in a big consulting firm following graduation and gain industry-specific knowledge (biotech/healthcare seem the most logical given my background); Long-term I hope to enter venture capital / private equity / or investment management.
