About Me

A-Level Student at Jumeirah College
- Aspiring Economist
- Passionate Musician

As an A Level student based in Dubai, focusing on Economics, Finance, and the Behavioural Sciences, I have become increasingly fascinated by the human side of decision-making: why people choose one path over another, how incentives influence behaviour, and how effective leaders navigate complexity. 

 

As a member of the National Youth Orchestra and my school orchestra, I have had the privilege of performing at prestigious venues like Carnegie Hall in New York, Konzerthaus and Musikverein in Vienna, and Dubai Opera, which has deepened my understanding of collaboration, creativity, and the emotional nuances that drive human interactions.
