About

I am a focused individual with a passion towards 'Energy', since I was a child. I proceeded to do my Bachelors Degree in ‘Mechanical with Specialization in Energy Engineering’. During my time studying there, I started to develop a keen interest towards energy optimization, and I started to work towards that by performing projects related to that and completing my thesis in the improvement of energy efficiency. I then decided to pursue my Masters in Petroleum Engineering, and eventually contribute more to the energy efficient improvement methods and cost saving opportunities for the petroleum industry.

I have also volunteered and taught mathematics for four years in ‘Dubai Center for Special Needs' to help children with disabilities. I am also an avid supporter of the environment, and have demonstrated activities to help clean the environment, even though I am in the field of dirty energy (petroleum engineering). You can also call me a diverse person with a liking to learn more than whats on my plate. Maybe my ability to speak 6 different languages can corroborate my diversity.
