Activist, Brainstormer, Engineer, Event planner, Muslim, Student

I am a Mechanical Engineering student at Prince Mohammed Bin Fahd University passionate about innovation, cultural development, and impactful community engagement. Since 2021, I have dedicated over 1,000 volunteer hours at Ithra, serving in multiple cultural roles including Museum Docent, VIP Tour Guide, Dialogue Moderator, Customer Services & Visitor Experience, and program support. My work involved guiding diverse audiences, leading VIP tours, moderating public discussions, and contributing to cultural program development. In addition, I volunteered at the National Museum of Saudi Arabia as a Museum Docent and trained volunteers to deliver guided tours for the Hijrah Exhibition, enriching the visitor journey and supporting national cultural initiatives. Alongside my cultural and volunteer work, I serve as the Public Relations Director at the Future Vision Community (FVC) at PMU and am an active member of SPE-KSA, where I continue developing my communication, leadership, and event organization skills. Focused on personal and professional growth, l aim to bridge engineering, culture, and community impact while contributing to Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 through education, innovation, and public engagement.

I am passionate about innovation and using engineering as a tool to create meaningful solutions that improve people’s lives. As a Mechanical Engineering student, I am driven by the challenge of solving problems and thinking creatively about how systems can be improved and developed. At the same time, I am deeply passionate about cultural development and community engagement. Through my volunteer work at Ithra and the National Museum of Saudi Arabia, I have discovered how powerful culture, dialogue, and public programs can be in shaping perspectives and inspiring growth. I am especially motivated by the opportunity to bridge engineering, culture, and community impact, contributing to Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 through education, innovation, and active public engagement.

People should believe that what ever they want to achieve they are able to, not by dreaming only because its a gift. But having the courage and be brave to not being afraid against anything, thats the secret. I would like to to tell every person that if they say they can’t they will not, but when they say I can they will.

By attending TEDxKFUMP I started having the passion to make the event at my university, it is one of its kind people coming from all kind of fields and speaking to students in great motivations and stories of success. I always can’t wait to attend TEDxKFUMP or TEDx event to be inspired, its what make people close to each other, with meaning.

I believe people don’t know I am good at public speaking and it is is one of my strongest skills. Through my experience as a Museum Docent, VIP Tour Guide, and Dialogue Moderator, I have developed the ability to speak confidently in front of diverse audiences and adapt my message based on who I am addressing. Guiding tours and moderating discussions has trained me to communicate clearly, structure my ideas effectively, and maintain audience engagement. I have learned how to present information in a way that is both informative and inspiring, while remaining professional and approachable. Public speaking, for me, is not only about delivering information, but about creating a connection with the audience, encouraging dialogue, and leaving a meaningful impact.
