About Me – Majdoulene A. Kerish
Welcome to my corner of the digital world. My name is Majdoulene A. Kerish, a Jerusalemite with a deep curiosity for the complexities and possibilities of this world. I am a researcher and project manager with a passion for sustainable development, data-driven analysis, and impactful change.
With a BEng in Engineering Management from Loughborough University and an MPhil in Development Studies from Cambridge University, I bring a multidisciplinary approach to my work, blending technical engineering skills, data analysis, and strategic thinking. My professional journey spans diverse contexts, from fragile economies to high-growth markets, where I have tackled challenges in public finance and sustainability.
Language has always fascinated me, and while I am confident in Arabic and English, I often find myself experimenting with French, Hebrew, and even the occasional Chinese. Who knows, perhaps my Chinese might surprise me someday.
This website is a space where I share insights from my projects, reflections on the intersections of culture, policies, sustainability and economics, and maybe even a few unexpected thoughts about nature and resilience. It’s not just a portfolio, but a living record of my journey to contribute to this region’s growth and resilience.
If you’re curious about my work or have anything to share, I’d love to hear from you.
Your feedback is always appreciated.
