Autumn , 2022
After graduating, I sought my ambitions to work in the field of education, to convey knowledge and enthusiasm towards architecture. I have joined the teaching staff of national and international universities in Egypt as a teaching assistant for various design courses. My aim to excel both academically and practically impelled me to work in architecture offices to gain a greater exposure into professional practice. I joined the well-established international design firm in Egypt, Dar Al Handasa, where I learned much about the dynamics of how mega projects are executed through different phases. My passion was at the early stages of design. So, I took advantage of the one-year internship opportunity with UNStudio. There, I gained further exposure into the practical early design phases, learning how to design beautifully and efficiently.
Today - two years after graduating - I am realizing much of my dreams and ambitions. Nonetheless, this is ever more stimulating me for more!
I am an Egyptian architect. Since graduation, I have been involved in continuous learning and development, not only because it would advance my career, but also because I find real value in everything I do. As a mature team player, I adapt to all difficult situations. I am a collaborative team player who is always searching for opportunities to impart valuable insights.

There is an enormous garden and private swimming pool with panoramic views. The Villa Rosa site is one of the last green enclaves in the St. Julian’s area, combining a scheduled building and ecological oasis, which not only provides an essential green lung for the area, but also constitutes a potential attraction as it is.
