Why I became a mentor: IPMP was my home away from home when I first arrived to Indy from Dubai during my freshman year. With IPMP, I met my closest friends and got the chance to interact with other international students and build confidence in a new environment. I chose to be a mentor because I want to use my experiences to help incoming international students by ensuring that they are well settled at IUPUI and have someone to guide them during their first moments here.
Bio: I was born and raised in Dubai and I arrived in the US at the age of 17. I love to travel and be exposed to new people and scenarios and have visited 15 countries. I have a passion for technology and innovation and am also an avid sports fanatic. I also love to watch old movies (2000's, 2010's, etc.) from time to time and have a good time with friends. I am very involved in different student organizations on campus, so if you see me around on campus, come by and say hi.
Best place to eat in Indianapolis: Dave's Chicken, Petra Cafe, Bentos, Lincoln Square Pancake House, Chatterbox Jazz Club, Magoos Pizza
One piece of advice: Be yourself and be curious about everything around you. Build connections and speak to your professors. Most importantly, don't sit in your dorm or house - go outside and explore things with others. Everyone is new to IUPUI and likely to join your company.
