To all the great life and technical lessons, tough challenges, hands-on experiences here and abroad and supportive professors, I'm very thankful for my intense 5 years at AUC for raising the bar so high of what I can do and teaching me that one's potential can be limitless. I'm also thankful for my Petroleum Engineering degree for teaching me to solve any problem life throws at me one at a time and that hard work along with passion are the means to go forward.

I graduated in Spring 2017 from Petroleum Engineering with Honors and now working as a Wireline Engineer in Schlumberger. The Petroleum Engineering program offered me both theoretical and practical knowledge with renowned professors in both the gas and renewable energy industries. The exposure and extensive knowledge that I've gained shaped me into the Engineer that I am right now. Thank you.
