ألفت صقر

In my second year of college I realized that a degree in Computer and Information Sciences was not for me; I graduated anyway and after several years of working a boring desk job, I decided to explore where my interests actually lie. I am passionate about building bridges between people from different cultures and faiths. I completed the World Youth Alliance’s training and became a certified member. To facilitate cross-cultural dialogue for their Connect Program I attended Soliya facilitation trainings. In addition, I volunteer online with an educational interfaith organization based in the US called MyJihad Campaign. Moreover, in order to inspire women to lead healthier lifestyles, I took a Group Fitness Instructor course. Last summer, after handing in my resignation from work in order to pursue my interests and possibly apply for a Master’s degree, I stumbled upon CILAS and found it the perfect fit for my transitional phase. At CILAS, I seek knowledge, learn more about myself, and learn more about how the world works. I also hope that I am helping others on their journey as well. It is the perfect place for self-reflection, challenging myself, and meeting people from different backgrounds.
