Farah Osman is a graduate of International Law and International Relations from the American University in Cairo. A self-professed nerd and bookworm, Farah enjoys reading everything and anything that crosses her path. Her obsession with music leaves her prowling the internet for hours on end for new artists, songs and sounds. She enjoys making a fool out of herself, dislikes people who take themselves too seriously, loves cooking and watches more shows than she would like to admit. Deciding to go the “save-the-world-but-make-little money" route, Farah is committed to working in civil society. She is currently a Program Associate at the Education for Employment Foundation|Egypt, a non profit organization that provides training programs for high need unemployed youth and places them in private sector jobs. A truly eye-opening experience, it has given her a greater consciousness regarding the needs of youth in Cairo and further inspired her dedication to the betterment of living conditions in Egypt.
