Jobs, and noticed that human resources was a career path that had promotion potential. This is when I made the decision to go back to school, once again, to get a Bachelor’s degree in Human Resource Management. I have always been interested in human resources but never took that career path initially.

Nine years ago when I first joined faculty of engineering at Alexandria University, I would have never imagined that I would apply for a Management PhD program one day.

Although it could be difficult to be always aware of my surroundings I will have an easier time creating different ways to solve a problem.
