I am an Egyptian 6th year PhD candidate in the Anthropology department. Before coming to Princeton, I worked in Egypt as a researcher at a think tank, then at a research center at the American University in Cairo, and at a public hospital. I hold an MA in Anthropology and Cultural Politics from Goldsmiths, University of London and a BA in…

I’m in the Classics department and (at least in non-pandemic times...) the head instructor for the BJJ club here on campus. Before coming to Princeton, I thru-hiked several major trails in the US, worked in the startup world in San Francisco, and spent several years teaching high school (Latin and AP Physics) at a public school in DC — the most…

As a Graduate Peer Coach, I believe that my role is to help you cultivate a sense of well-being and thriving in graduate school, both in an academic context and in other areas of your life. I hope that you can use your space with me to explore more deeply the areas in which you want to improve, disassemble the situational or emotional barriers…

I am excited to serve as a resource to first generation graduate students, particularly in the Humanities and Social Sciences.

Students that are unfamiliar with the “unspoken rules” of success in graduate education and academic practice…

I am sixth-year PhD Candidate in the English Department and have been working at the McGraw Center as a University Administrative Fellow since 2019. As a UAF, I have led workshops on effective scholarly communication and perfectionism—topics personal to my own experience as a graduate student—and helped develop and launch the Graduate Peer…

As a coach, I believe in the power of active listening and that speaking in the presence of someone who really listens can magically clarify tangled thoughts and bring forth novel ideas. No one knows your struggles as well as you do, nor do they have the power to solve them like you can. My goal, therefore, is to provide the space you need…

My aim is to offer a supportive space where together we can think through the many parts of graduate school which aren’t usually addressed as part of our studies, whether it be anxieties about our research, our relationships with our advisors, impostor syndrome, perfectionism, or one of the countless other unacknowledged but integral aspects of…

I am a graduate student in ECE researching interesting applications of artificial intelligence.  I am also a Resident Grad Student (RGS) at Frist College.
