Additionally, my passion for digital transformation fuels my drive to innovate and embrace change. I look forward to sharing these skills, along with my cultural insights and collaborative spirit, to enrich the learning experience for both my mentor and peers—fostering a dynamic exchange of knowledge and ideas.

Through partnerships, public speaking and mentoring, I will promote a tech-literate generation prepared to lead Morocco’s digital transformation. I also aim to connect local talent to global innovation networks and opportunities.
