I am excited to share that I am now serving as an Exchange Student Ambassador at KFUPM! As someone who has personally experienced the highs and challenges of studying abroad, I’m passionate about helping new exchange students make the most of their journey. From navigating the application process to finding a home away from home, I’m here to support every step of the way. I am especially focused on helping students build well-rounded schedules, connect with vibrant communities like the Saudi and Muslim associations, and dive into extracurricular activities that enrich their time abroad. With a background in mentoring and leadership, I am dedicated to ensuring that each student’s exchange experience is as rewarding as possible, while proudly representing KFUPM on the international stage.
