Can you tell us a bit about your work and what your day to day looks like?

Day to day, I help Omar stay organized, focused, and productive—managing his meetings, emails, and priorities, while also handling tasks that require quick execution at any time of day (Omar often jokes that I’m awake 24/7). I also support side projects, often stepping into a project management role to coordinate between teams and make sure deadlines are met.

What are you currently excited about for the next year?

I’m excited about what the future holds, taking on new opportunities at work while also continuing to grow Skyla. Who knows, maybe one day Skyla will even be a Founders Arm client!

What can we catch you doing outside of work?

You’ll probably catch me working on Skyla, my cosmetics brand (and my favorite kind of chaos), where I run everything behind the scenes from supply chain to launches. Otherwise, I’m probably checking out new food spots and rating them on TikTok, lol.

What has been the highlight working at founders arm/your client so far?

Honestly, the highlight has been the growth and progress. I started with simple assistant tasks, and over time I’ve taken the lead on project management and earned Omar’s trust to handle key initiatives. Along the way, I’ve learned so much from working closely with him, from marketing and sales, to executing quickly, to really understanding how startups operate.

  • Mo Bistro; favorite food spot & also where I met the founders arm team in Egypt (crazy considering we’re spread all over the world).

  • A sunset by the sea; my favorite way to recharge and reset outside of work.

  • Presenting my clinical pharmacy research; my first published paper, and the milestone that marked the end of six years of pharmacy, where I graduated in the top ten of my class!
