Hello mentees!

I am a French-Lebanese national who was raised in Beirut. I’ve worked in both architecture and tech, and recently relocated to the United States to pursue an MBA at Harvard Business School.

I am originally trained as an architect and designer, I have worked two years at in the architecture studio Renzo Piano Building Workshop. I soon transitioned to the tech scene and worked in a growing Construction Tech startup from Seed to Series B. As you can imagine, working in a seed stage startup means that I wore different hats (I know you’ve heard that phrase a lot), from sales to product management, and ended up settling on marketing. In parallel, I’ve also founded a non-profit, which targets my home country. It grew to become an initiative hub with over 100 volunteers, and has been at the forefront of the relief efforts in the country.

I am very excited to be part of Twenty’s team of mentors, and guide you as you navigate your 20s. My sisters are at this exact stage of their lives, and I see how little guidance they are being provided. I truly enjoy helping them as they embark on new challenges, and I look forward to doing this with you as well.

• Overcoming failure - accepting that failure is part of the process
• Relocating to a new city - I have lived in 7 different cities over the last 15 years (Beirut, Nice, Tokyo, Paris, London, Boston and New York)

• Patient and supportive. As the eldest of 4 and as a founder, I’ve frequently helped others with their career decisions.
• A good listener. No two career paths are the same, and I’ll make sure to listen to your story and help you in your decisions.
• Honest.
