I participated in radio interview, where I highlighted the Qatar Foundation’s educational ecosystem and Carnegie Mellon University’s pivotal role within it, emphasizing the Business Administration program’s contributions. Leveraging this platform, I also raised awareness about CMU and the BA program among the Latino community in Qatar, fostering greater visibility and engagement.

Supported the Meeting of the Minds (MotM) 2025 held on April 29th. First, by meeting committee members for focus groups where organizers were trying to understand poster design in economics/business, and then by reviewing and giving feedback to TWO posters submitted for the event.

I served as a judge for the HBKU Innovation Funds Cycle 8, organized by Hamad Bin Khalifa University’s Office of Innovation and Industrial Relations. This prestigious program, aligned with Qatar National Vision 2030, supports transformative projects through initiatives like the Industrial Innovation Fund, Social Innovation Fund, and Student Innovation Fund, aiming to turn innovative ideas into impactful solutions. On January, 2025, I evaluated three projects under the Social Science theme during the Cycle 8 interview sessions. My role involved assessing the feasibility and potential impact of these projects, contributing to the selection of winners who received funding and mentorship. This experience not only strengthened my engagement with Qatar’s innovation ecosystem but also reinforced my dedication to supporting student and industry-driven initiatives that advance economic and social development
