Bio

Languages and cultures are my passion. I have been studying languages since early age. I went to English school when I was young, which provided the advantage of speaking English fluently and professionally although living in Egypt, an Arabic speaking country.

I completed my MSc. degree at Royal Holloway University of London in petroleum Geoscience with a distinctive grade which proved my ability of critical and analytical writing in English.

In 2020, I started my PhD at the University of Aberdeen.

I have 12-year working experience in the Energy and the oil & gas industry. I Worked for Slb, BG-Group & Royal Dutch Shell.

To fulfill my growing interest in languages, I decided to take the professional way and study languages in official accredited institutes. 

I studies French for 4 years in "Centre Culturel Francais au Caire". Then, I passed the B2 DELF exam which certified my advanced level as a francophone.

Being captivated with the South American culture, I decided to improve my communication with Spanish speaking people. I pursued my way to build up my proficiency in Spanish by studying Spanish for 3 years in the "Instituto Cervantes en el Cairo" till I passed my advanced level exam C1.
