Meet Nancy Mohamed, an AGF scholar from Egypt who pursued a BS in Architectural Engineering at the American University in Cairo.

“AGF has truly been a nurturing support system for me, helping me in my ups and downs, and preparing me for a brighter, ambitious future. I am dedicated to achieve my environmental-oriented goals and have started my baby steps towards doing so, but, five years later, these goals have become coupled with a sense of service towards social development in the Arab world that AGF has ingrained within me.”​

Nancy graduated from the American University in Cairo in 2021, and she is currently employed as a Junior Architect at Environas.​

“As an architecture graduate starting her alumni journey, I am charged with a passion to give back to my community through helping to shape the environment. I believe a lot of social change comes down to the built environment itself and the sociological narrative it results in. I, thus, want to see Egypt and other Arab countries develop a better built canvas that is resilient and that actively works towards creating improved effects on social justice, climate justice, and more. I am actively trying to improve my knowledge in these fields and hope that, at some point, I eventually ‘give back’ that way.”​
