Share resources, work smartly and efficiently, eliminate waste and help one another. These are the values that drive Rudayna on a personal and professional level. She is now taking a side-step from her career in urban planning to pour her energy into the creation of Thaki. Rudayna’s involvement in promoting educational opportunities goes back many years: She has been a Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Educational Counsellor since graduating from MIT and was the driving force behind the establishment of 2 endowed scholarship funds at both MIT and the American University of Beirut (AUB).

Rudayna has a bachelor’s degree in Architectural Studies from MIT, a master’s degree in Urban Planning from McGill University, and is a graduate of Amsterdam’s THNK School of Creative Leadership, an executive program promoting transformational thinking, innovation leadership, and venture design to build human-centered systems for a better future.

But apart from all that - Rudayna is one of the most lovely and warm people you'll ever meet. She is super dedicated to her organisation Thaki and we look forward to work with her over the coming years!
