Growing up in Lebanon's power and waste crises, I chose action over despair. On the frontlines with the Lebanese Red Cross, I mastered crisis management and community empathy. Through Model United Nations (MUN) and TEDx, I honed the diplomatic and public speaking skills needed to advocate for systemic change. These experiences fueled Waffera, my green startup that transforms organic waste into clean electricity, proving youth-led innovation can turn regional crises into sustainable power.
