I have been part of DiaLeb since 2016 as a volunteer, and I am currently completing a 6-month internship with the organization. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Political Science from USEK, and I am currently pursuing a master’s degree in Diplomacy and Strategic Negotiations at Sagesse University in Lebanon. Alongside my academic path, I have remained deeply engaged in diabetes awareness, youth empowerment, and sustainable health initiatives. I also serve as a Young Leader in Diabetes (YLD) with the International Diabetes Federation, where I contribute the lived-experience perspective and advocate for improved access to diabetes care across our region. Given your long-standing work in sustainability and youth-led initiatives, I believe my background and experience align strongly with your vision. I would be grateful for the opportunity to join your network, contribute to ongoing projects, and collaborate on efforts that support young people living with diabetes.
