🌟 About Me: Throughout my career and academic journey, I've harnessed my knowledge, expertise, and research skills to assist organizations in understanding human diversity, intercultural communication and the elements that can bridge cultural gaps. I'm passionate about enabling organizations to embrace diversity and foster true inclusivity in practical, tangible ways. 

🎓 Holding a Ph.D. from the distinguished Telfer School of Management at the University of Ottawa, Canada, I've had the privilege of conducting research in the Organizational Behaviour field. My current research passions revolve around cultural variations in attitudes and behavioural communications, mainly focusing on minority populations. I employ qualitative data and research tools to identify specific interaction challenges and advocate for solutions that drive the implementation of equity, diversity, and inclusion practices in different organizational contexts.

👨‍🏫 I've served as a Part-time Assistant Professor at Telfer Management School, where I've had the opportunity to teach cross-cultural management and sustainability training courses. In addition, each semester, I actively supported funded research projects as a Research Associate, furthering my commitment to promoting diversity and inclusion. I also served as a Teaching Associate for numerous undergraduate courses in the management field.

🌎 Before my journey at Telfer, I collaborated with Professor Dr. Tarek El Badawy at Auburn University at Montgomery, Alabama, USA. Our collaborative efforts resulted in several published papers addressing topics relevant to the workplace.

📚 My academic pathway began in Egypt, earning my Master's degree in 2014 from the German University in Cairo. At that time, my research addressed stereotypes, prejudices, and discriminatory acts against carriers of the Hepatitis C virus in the Egyptian workplace.

These experiences enriched me with valuable transferable skills, including problem-solving, project management, qualitative research and analysis, effective written and verbal communication (including academic writing), and the ability to thrive in collaborative and diverse environments.
