About Me!

The Coptic Club at IU Indianapolis is designed to bring awareness and knowledge to the Coptic Orthodox community in Egypt. The organization is open to all students and often invites special guests to educate others about the 10% of Egyptians who identify as Coptic Orthodox. I am part of the executive team and serve as the club’s reservationist.

Through this role, I have gained strong communication skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work under pressure. 

University College coordinates existing university resources and develops new initiatives to promote academic excellence and enhance student persistence. As a result, they created the University College Student Council (UCSC). As a member of UCSC, I served as Vice President. I worked directly with other executive members to plan and design various University College events. Additionally, we provided funding and reimbursements for many first-year seminar classes and coordinated opportunities for University College students to engage with one another through social hangouts, movie nights, and game nights. One key skill I developed through UCSC was the ability to plan and execute events effectively for University College students. 

Children's theraply is a pediatric clinic for children with disabilities.  As their intern I assist physical, occupational, and speech therapists in daily clinic management and operations, and work alongside amazing kiddos. One of the unique aspects about this internship is that the therapist use horses as a form of therapy for the kid's needs. One of the biggest daily need is walking around the horse during the therapy session, holding onto the kiddo to stabilize and ensure his/her safety.      

At the beginning of 2021 I started a new position at Franciscan Health in Indianapolis as their rehab technician during that time it proved me that I chose the right path for my career. In there I assisted therapists with equipment to effectively mobilize a patient.  Also, I monitored patient safety when a therapist needed an extra pair of hands. I learned skills in rehabilitation techniques, patient care, communication, problem-solving, time management, and empathy.     

Since I started college I had an opportunity at my local church "St. Mary & St. Mark Coptic Orthodox Church" to be a Sunday School instructor. The best part about the experience was developing and constructing lessons through presentations for the kids to learn about the faith. We also, go on many retreats and picnics to enhance the learning experience of the kids learning styles.  

GOAL stands for Get Onboard Active Living. The mission of organization is to help young children in one of the local elementary schools in Indianapolis to learn more about nutrition and wellness. Working with children and inform them about the different ways to improve them in health is such an eye opening experience.   

The Indiana University Student Outreach Clinic (IU-SOC) is a free clinic that provides primary care based medical, dental, therapeutical, social and legal services for the uninsured and unprivileged community in Indianapolis. At the clinic, my role is the front desk where I help check in people and register them in our system if its their first time coming into the clinic.   

At Indiana University’s Camp Brosius, I served as a counselor, leading activities, facilitating team-building exercises, and helping campers develop leadership and teamwork skills. I strengthened my abilities in communication, problem-solving, and group management while creating a supportive and engaging environment for all participants. 

As President of the Chess Club, I organized tournaments, led beginner lessons, and created opportunities for players of all skill levels to develop their skills. Through this role, I strengthened my leadership, event planning, and teaching abilities while fostering a supportive and engaging club environment. 

As a member of the Chancellor’s Student Advisory Board at IU Indianapolis, I worked with campus leadership to represent student voices, focusing on key issues like  campus study spaces and finding a sense of belonging to IU Indy. I developed leadership, communication, research, data collection, and problem-solving skills while advocating for meaningful change and contributing to yearlong research and improvement projects.
