Khadija was born and raised in Tunisia and attended the American Cooperative School of Tunis for high school. 

Khadija described her time at school as being “quite amazing” and feels as though she has been pushed to achieve her fullest potential. She is grateful that her family has supported her through academic and personal difficulties. 

After completing high school, Khadija hopes to study Architecture abroad. She has always been interested in Art and Maths and often finds herself analysing buildings and studying how they were constructed. 

Now that she has finished high school, Khadija is majoring in Architecture at Rice University in Houston, Texas. She completed the International Baccalaureate for her last two years of high school and is currently a freshman in college. She is really passionate about all sorts of artistic expressions and athletics, and loves playing football, basketball, and volleyball. Khadija looks forward to exploring many other sports during her time at university. 

Khadija especially enjoyed the mathematics and physics classes that intersected perfectly with what she wants to do in the future. “I am forever grateful for all the support that I have had and how it is helping me move forward to become a powerful architect.”
