Meet our scholars

I'm a refugee from Syria, and student athlete currently recovering from an ACL injury, with the plan of getting back to playing basketball at a high level. I also aspire to one day be a doctor and hopefully specialise as a surgeon in the future. I am a leader in many spaces, including on a basketball court, where I served as team captain on various teams. I also work as a tutor and have aspirations to help young men reach their academic potential and find their own career goals. Who I am today has been shaped by my upbringing as the eldest son in a refugee family and by seeing how hard my parents worked to provide a life for my siblings and me. This has pushed me to be the best I can and one day I hope to be able to give back to my community, and others in need.
