About

When I was 18, I had to climb a very high mountain starting in Lebanon to achieve the peak in the United States.
When I was a high school student in Lebanon, I wanted to leave for the United States to work in the world of investment and become a game changer, but nothing was encouraging me since I could not speak English at all, I was not a serious student, and I had no idea about how and where to start working on my goals in the US.
Despite the negativity, fears, and the dark picture in my mind at that time, I did not give up. I learned English on my own in 4 months, and then I made a big accomplishment to get into UC Berkeley as one of top leading universities in the world. I’m that person. When I decide to do something, it will happen no matter what.
Now, I put that perseverance and extreme willingness to work as an investment banker.
I’m well-versed in negotiations, problem-solving, strategic planning and development, and deal making, and game changing.

Goals and interests

Career goal

My dream job is to work in investment, especially investment banking or consulting, in order to gain enough experience and skills that allow me to launch my own multi national investment firm later.

Graduate school interests

I do have interests in grad school, but I am not fully sure if it will be to get my MBA or a PhD in a specific field. I will most likely try to get an MBA from a prestigious business school, or a PhD in Mathematics (Game Theory) that will enable me to run my investment company in the future, such as a hedge fund or private equity.

Outside the classroom

My hobbies are the following: Reading, Travelling, Playing Chess, Watching Documentaries and Political Talk Show, Swimming, Agriculture.
