About Me
Yasmin spent 19 years of her life as a Professional Basketball Player. Along her journey, she received 38 medals, was the captain of Gezira Sporting Club Team for several years and played for the Egyptian National Team. In 2007, Yasmin received her Bachelor Degree in Systems and Bio-Medical Engineering from Cairo University and graduated with High Honors. Yasmin’s curiosity pushed her to pursue a career in Telecommunications; a field completely different from her area of expertise. In December 2007, she was hired by the Telecom Giant Alcatel-Lucent, where she initially worked as a Field Network Engineer then later as a Middle East and Africa Network Design Engineer. In April 2011, Yasmin joined Wild Guanabna to support Omar Samra "The first Egyptian to climb Mount Everest" in building up both his Educational and Voluntourism arms, serving student and adult adventure and learning seekers. In 2010, Yasmin’s sense of Social Responsibility and Entrepreneurial spirit pushed her to start up a small initiative named Educate-Me to help financially underprivileged children go to School. Educate-Me later turned into a Social Enterprise that's touching the lives of hundreds of people everyday through developing and delivering an alternative education program that empowers them to pursue their dreams; both on the short and long term. In September 2011, Yasmin decided to solely focus on Educate-Me and became its full-time Executive Director. Yasmin is currently pursuing her part-time Masters in International Education Management in PH Ludwigsburg, Germany
