Community/Lebanon Impact

I have always been driven by a deep commitment to giving back to our community and fostering positive change. My involvement spans across various NGOs, including promoting women empowerment through initiatives like the Lebanese League for Women in Business and 50/50. As an advisory board member of the Beirut Marathon Association since its inception, I have actively supported initiatives that promote well-being, peace, and equality, while advocating for young children suffering from chronic illnesses. Additionally, I am a proud contributor to Lebanon’s private sector economy, collaborating to drive sustainable growth and development.
