KAUST has been an incredible home for my family and me. From the moment we arrived, I was inspired by the university’s vision and research. My daughter has grown up here, progressing from kindergarten to high school, while I have built a fulfilling career in events management at the Computer, Electrical, and Mathematical Sciences and Engineering (CEMSE) division. I am deeply committed to contributing to KAUST, supporting my family, and advancing the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
