Statement of Purpose

Since my childhood, I have always fancied entrepreneurial and management issues. I grew admiring successful business people in the society and wished that one day I would climb that ladder to become an important business person in the society. I believe today that dream is becoming a reality owing to the steps I have taken in my education and now that I want to purse an MBA at Rollins University.

I was born in Riyadh in Saudi Arabia. After finishing my high school, I went to Dubai in United Arab Emirates, where I worked as a customer relations specialist with a company called Creative 1973 from 2002 to 2004. I was then admitted in the University of Sharjah in the UAE and to pursue Management Information Systems and graduated in 2008. Immediately after my graduation, I went to Jeddah in Saudi Arabia and I was employed as an Information Systems Specialist in the Saudi Arabian Airlines. At Saudi Arabian Airlines, I was working on a multimillion project with a Germany company called SAP and after working for six months, the management of Saudi Arabian Airlines were very impressed by my working skills and awarded me a scholarship to study MBA in the USA. This is a scholarship which is awarded through King Abdullah on a special agreement between Saudi Airlines and King Abdullah’s scholarship committee to send distinguished employees to pursue their higher education.
