About Me

Hi, my name is Ahmed. I've studied, lived and worked in 7 different countries. I'm accepting of all kinds of people and cultures. I love meeting new people, having conversations with them and getting to know their perspective of the world. I believe there's something I could learn from every person I meet.I've previously studied a 4 year college degree in computer networks and recently completed a post-graduate degree in Cybersecurity. I have mainly worked in tech but have also delved in the International Development fied for a while as well. I speak English, Arabic, Berber and I'm now learning French.I like to help people naturally, I've done lots volunteer work and I've worked for several development and humanitarian organizations. I enjoy teaching as much as I enjoy learning, I've worked as a tutor and English teacher before and I have a TEFL certification. I've done plenty of work with kids/youth with NGOs such as YYI, Hexa Connection, NRC and Amideast.I'm a minimalist and believe less is more. But I'm also not boring, I do have a sense of humor, I'm into almost everything... sports, cinema, tech, travelling, books, food and culture and can carry a conversation with almost anyone.I come from a farming family which harvests olive oil trees in the Mediterranean so I obviously love olive oil and cooking!For me, a smile and a nice conversation can go a long way! That's a bit about me, peace :)
