Accomplishments
One of my key accomplishments has been completing a three-year memorization of the Qur’an (Hifz), which required strong discipline, consistency, and long-term commitment.
I also gained hands-on accounting experience by managing the financial records of my family’s perfume business for four years, where I developed practical skills in bookkeeping and financial organization.
Additionally, I took on a leadership role in a youth mentoring program, where I supervised 12 students and 3 staff members, organized educational activities, and supported student development.
I am also expected to receive the Congressional Award Gold Medal in June 2026, recognizing my commitment to service and personal growth.
