My favorite Brandeis class/professor is...

I love my Arabic classes with Professor El-Tobgui!

My favorite activity outside of class is...

Rugby all the way. Rugby has become a family for me over the years, and I always look forward to the opportunity to tackle some people at the end of a long day. Whether it's practice, team dinner, or a casual game in the snow, I can't think of a better way to spend time than with my favorite ruggers.

My favorite Brandeis tradition is...

The Community Break Fast at Yom Kippur each year is my favorite way the Brandeis community comes together. I get to break my fast with all my friends, regardless of their observance, and the bagels are fantastic!

I chose Brandeis because...

Brandeis embodied for me all the values that I was raised on. Learning for the sake of knowledge itself, giving back to the world and community I come from, and always maintaining a degree of skepticism about everything I learn. I knew that by going to Brandeis I would graduate a better person, with a defined value system and an ability to think critically about the world and my views of it.

I'm passionate about...

Martial Arts Foreign Languages Arabic Running Kickboxing

I'm involved with...
