As an aspiring physician-scientist in the era of advancing medical research, I am grateful to be part of Pollack’s Lab dynamic research team working on impactful projects in the field of oncology.
Beyond my professional commitments, I value a well-rounded life and enjoy horse riding, skiing, and crocheting. My extensive volunteer experience has been instrumental in shaping my personality and skills. I am multilingual—fluent in English, French, and Arabic, with a basic command of German—and have a strong passion for learning new languages. Traveling the world with my partner and building a warm, supportive family are central to my future aspirations.
In few years I envision completing my medical residency after gaining substantial research experience, ultimately pursuing a career as a dedicated physician-scientist balancing both clinical care and scientific discoveries .
Until then I will be embracing my journey!
