The full biography of this person is currently in the works
Joined the Chemical Engineering faculty at Dalhousie university. Then graduated with a masters in petroleum engineering. Worked in PepsiCo in Toronto for a year or so as a production manager. Then started working for Schlumberger as an offshore field engineer in Canada, Turkey, Thailand, Kuwait. Currently based in Qatar. Pretty much focused on work since graduating from NES.
Well I graduated from the British university in Egypt with a bachelors of civil engineering in 2013. Currently working in the project management field in the infrastructure/utilities industry. Happy married since 2015 with my beloved wife Hamsa who was my university colleague. I have 4 year old son TK TAREK And in expecting Tamara come September.
So much happened after NES. Some highlights I'd like to share initially:
I continued my life in Cairo,
Studied something I hated then did nothing with it after graduation,
Got hit by a car, and survived with no losses,
I witnessed a revolution (though a pretty bad one at that),
I took so many risks, at last! Getting out of that shell I lived in,
Started a business, and failed two years later,
Saw my mother survive cancer,
Now I do something I've never imagined I would be doing,
ok that's it for now, talk soon!

Was pretty shy in highschool, that all changed in university 😂. Got a bachelor's in pharmacy & biotechnology. Went on to get a Masters in biotechnology specialized in computational biology from the American university in Cairo. I now spend my days split between studying heart disease and part time teaching bioinformatics at AUC.
Hey guys! So I left NES and Kuwait in 2008. I went to 6th form in a school in Newcastle (North East England). Studied Drama, English.
The plan was to go to drama school, so I auditioned for 5 of the most prestigious ones in London in 2010... and I didn’t get into any 😂 so I was gonna just study music and audition again the year after, but that summer I had an audition for a soap opera here in the UK and got it! It was a show called Emmerdale and I stayed there for 3 years, living in Leeds where it was filmed. I left the show in 2013 and moved to London for 2 years, and did a bit of theatre. Then in 2015 I got another job in a long-running hospital drama here in the UK called ‘Casualty’, so moved to Cardiff, Wales where it is shot and stayed there for 3 years. In 2018 I moved back to London and bought my first flat! Met my boyfriend in 2018 too. Then in 2019 I got a job in the West End which was crazy!!! Such a dream come true. So I was in 9to5 playing the lead role of ‘Judy’ from Aug 2019, and was supposed to be there til May 2020 but Corona decided to descend into the world so we had to end in March!! Boooooo!

I hated cigarettes and smokers. I started smoking. I quit for a very long time but then again I got back at it harder. I say I’m trying to stop everyday but I don’t think I really will or want to. That’s pretty much how all other aspects of my life tends to go or vice-versa...
I left Kuwait in 2008, studied Music with Education at CCCU in Kent where I met my husband. I didn't want to pursue music but also didn't know what I wanted to do in life, so did a few years working as a Carer (dementia patients mainly). Got married in 2015, and am a full time mama to my 2 little rays of absolute sunshine (no regrets). You will find me either in Aldi, B&M, or at home, arm deep in baby shit whilst narrating every single line of Peppa Pig. What a life!
Making breakfast and then eating it.
After school I pursued a Bachelor's in Graphic Design with a core focus on Multimedia at The American University of Kuwait. The day I walked my graduation, was the day my contract at Ogilvy & Mather started as a full-time digital specialist; I was previously part timing there during my undergrad.
My career progressed and through working in different global advertising agencies, it was apparent to establish a potential market / industry gap. I packed my things and off I went to Toronto to pursue my Masters in Digital Media at Ryerson University; being a place I had cousins call home and I visited every summer through school.
Came back to Kuwait and led 2 global agencies through an offshore position to open up digital departments; it has since expanded their total revenue streams by a 46% margin to their offline. Ideas spark and I decided to start-up my own company (The Multimedia Studio) by the end of 2016 and cater globally. I also am a Part-Time Professor at the University of Guelph Humber within three faculties teaching creative thinking, marketing strategies, graphic design, and Multimedia Design courses.
On the side I also hold a position of an International Media Officer at CAF Egypt and currently part of the AFCON 2021 Cameroon Media committee.
I'm serial entrepreneur and take a lead as a business catalyst in a pool of ventures and help brands from startups to enterprise scale through strategic yet agile digital innovation tailored to each of their operations.

I lived in Kuwait for 6 years. I spend two of those years in NES, and i must say i had a lot of fun there. I stayed in touch with many of my friends for a few years, but as usual life just drifts you apart. I have been moving around since then. I lived in Bombay, Bangkok, Singapore and now i’m finally back in Spain (for almost 6 years now)!
Graduated from The British University in Egypt, majoring in Finance & accounting. Wasted 4 years doing my masters, also in Finance & accounting..then decided to work in HR :’). Currently based in Cairo/Egypt
After 13 years at NES 😄, I did my bachelor’s at Kuwait University in English literature, then worked as TA for a couple of years at the Gulf University here in Kuwait. I then got my Master’s degree in English and creative writing at the University of Louisville in Kentucky where I lived for two years. And since then, I’ve been back in Kuwait working as instructor at the university.
After NES I went to AUK to study business administration only to realize I was getting sick of Kuwait and the major I was studying. I then transferred to AUC and changed my major to Music Technology as music became my passion after I got a guitar at 16. I graduated, did my military service, started working and started freelancing a bit while also having a presales job for audio equipment. I'm currently practicing being a DJ while also producing my own music. Soon to be releasing my solo content on social media.

Graduated with an MBA in Leadership Concentration from University of Houston Downtown. I still live in Houston. I currently work as a consultant for a oil and gas company and before I was a database analyst.
Hiya! ☺️ After leaving NES, I didn’t know wtf to do at uni, so I jumped into a Sociology degree at LSE. After graduating from uni, I didn’t know wtf to do either (common theme?) so I dabbled in PR, fashion and advertising in London. I’ve worked with Coke, Snapchat, Rubik’s Cube and a few other brands. I now currently help run a Social & Influencer team at an advertising agency in Soho, London. However, my greatest achievement in life so far is that I’ve miraculously not killed anyone with my cooking/baking. X
Most of you still probably know me as Widad and let me just clear this first, but hardly anyone has called me that since I left NES because, well people just know me as dodi these days and I don't really like it, so please 🤣
Also, if I remember correctly and you do too, I was very shy and quiet at school but that's not the case now! 🥂 Moving to London back in 2010 and doing my degree in Fashion at the University for the Creative Arts has really changed me!
I've been working in industry since I graduated back in 2014. Worked as a freelance creative consultant and designer with so many companies like Unilever HQ and the Fenwick Store HQ as well as a tech company and startups.
Since lockdown I've now decided to focus most of my energy on my fashion label that I started establishing and looking to launch.
Looking forward to connect with you lot ❣
Couldn’t change the world alone, so i decided to get into education and teach kids about the dangers of thought control.
