About me:

Hi! I’m Roaa, a rising senior in Cabot studying Electrical Engineering. I grew up in Egypt, and a big part of how I connect with people is through fooddd, so there’s a good chance you’ll be offered tea or snacks if you stop by. Outside of class, I spend a lot of time working out, getting some sun on the Quad when the weather allows, and picking up books I’m usually in the middle of finishing. I enjoy conversations of all kinds, whether they’re about adjusting to college life, navigating relationships, or just thinking through bigger questions.

Starting somewhere new can feel overwhelming, and I remember what that was like. I hope to help make this space feel a little more comfortable and welcoming for you. My door is always open, and I’m really looking forward to meeting you!! :)
