The Fulbright Program is a flagship international exchange program that provides opportunities for international students to study and research in the United States. The program is highly competitive and is designed to bring talented individuals from around the world to the United States to share their knowledge and experience with American counterparts. It is a unique opportunity for international students to immerse themselves in American culture, form professional and personal connections, and expand their knowledge and expertise in their field of study.
In recent years, the Fulbright Program has produced a number of highly recognized scholars and officials including the British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. With 40 Fulbright Alumni serving as heads of state and 62 receiving the Nobel prize, the Fulbright Program remains one of the most prestigious international exchange programs in the world and continues to provide exceptional opportunities for international students to grow and succeed.
I applied to Fulbright because I wanted to create a positive impact. Fueled by a passion to improve the health of people. My job had given me a lot of insights into the world of pharmaceuticals. In 2017, through my company, I was lucky enough to work on a project for improving population health in Egypt, Yemen and Sudan in collaboration with the Gates Foundation and UNFPA. After the success of that project, I knew that I there is no going back and I'll have to pursue a post graduate degree in Global health. I applied to the Fulbright program and got accepted in 2021, it was my first time ever to apply to Fulbright.
I came to Boston, Massachusetts in 2021. I met many Fulbrighters from all over the world, made new friends and learned a lot at my university. I'll always remember my first time visiting Cambridge, and visiting the most innovative square mile in the world, an area of the city that has numerous biotechnology companies and research labs. Never had I known that less than a year after that, I'd be working for one of these companies.
