I’m an aspiring urban real estate developer and design thinker, currently pursuing a degree in Architecture with a minor in Urban Real Estate at the University of Pennsylvania. With a passion for creating sustainable, inclusive, and culturally rich spaces, I aim to bridge the worlds of architectural design, community development, and real estate strategy.This summer, I’m gaining hands-on international experience as a Sustainable Architecture Intern at GreenViet in Ho Chi Minh City, focusing on energy-efficient design and environmental certifications. I also participated in a Green Facade competition, which deepened my interest in how architecture can shape more livable and equitable cities.At Penn, I serve as President of the Sudanese Association, where I lead cultural initiatives that foster connection and representation. As a former student council member at Hill College House, I helped organize engaging events to enhance student life and community building.I also bring a background in creative direction and styling, as a beauty stylist for The Walk Magazine, I’ve contributed looks for editorial shoots that fuse cultural storytelling with visual innovation.With experience in design, sustainability, leadership, and storytelling, I bring a unique, interdisciplinary lens to the built environment. I’m especially excited by projects that combine aesthetic vision with economic and social impact.Let’s connect if you’re in the world of: • Real estate development • Urban design • Architecture and sustainability • Creative leadership or global city-making
