Al Reem Al Hosani, Class of 2021, graduated with a BA in art and art history and a minor in heritage studies. Having spent her last three semesters away from the NYUAD campus, Al Hosani branched out in her senior year, exploring options she hadn't previously considered, and landing a position at the Abu Dhabi Film Commission (ADFC) as a business development officer.
When the world shifted to virtual interactions, Al Hosani established a new routine for herself at home. She constructed a careful plan for her senior year where she focused on applying to graduate school in the fall and networking for jobs in the spring. After attending the Vice Chancellor Roundtable with Michael Garin, CEO of TwoFour54, Al Hosani confidently reached out and had a conversation with the CEO. “Through a lot of networking, emailing, and introducing myself everywhere, I got interviews and insight, and landed my current job,” she said.
