I am a Junior Economist with experience at the World Bank, currently specializing in macroeconomic analysis, machine learning, and data analytics. I hold an Honors Bachelor of Science in Statistics and Economics from the University of Toronto, and currently pursuing a Master's degree in Economics while serving as the Lead Teaching Assistant for the course "ECO220 - Introduction to Econometrics and Data Analysis" at the same institution for the 2024-2025 academic year.
Dar Taliba is a schooling support program developed by the "Mohamed V Foundation for Solidarity" to combat the dropout rates among rural children in Morocco. It has evolved to provide broader support, helping thousands of disadvantaged youths to continue their education and aspire to a better future. In collaboration with the Rabat American School in Morocco, I was involved in the Dar Taliba program, where I taught English to young girls from these rural areas. These girls often have to live far from their families to pursue their education. We also organized basketball activities and provided them with clothes and school supplies to support their studies and well-being.
I initiated a program at my high school to teach guitar and organize football games for children from a local orphanage in Rabat, Morocco. The goal was to help them develop creative thinking through music by learning about percussion and string instruments, something that helped me when I was younger. In addition to music, we played football, another passion of mine, which encouraged teamwork and physical activity. This experience was a way to share something I enjoyed while creating an opportunity for other kids to learn and have fun.
