About me
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology (BAIT) from the Syrian Virtual University, which has equipped me with the skills to effectively integrate technological tools into field research and data analysis. Additionally, I am currently pursuing advanced studies in economics, further deepening my understanding of economic and social dynamics and enhancing the methodological rigor of my research.
I am originally from Deir ez-Zor, a region to which I have strong personal ties, and I currently reside in Damascus. I bring a detail-oriented and analytical approach to my work and am particularly passionate about leveraging technology to enhance the quality and impact of research. I firmly believe in the transformative power of knowledge as a catalyst for meaningful and positive change in Syria.
