Leen Assaf

My academic journey continues in 2022 with an undergraduate degree at McGill University, majoring in Computer Science and minoring in Statistics. Before coming to Canada in 2022, I lived my whole life in Damascus, Syria, and I did my high school there in addition to studying Pharmacy for three years at Damascus University. However, I realized that I am more interested in tech and computer science and received my scholarship before graduating, so I have decided to take the chance to start all over again to learn what I love. Also, I have volunteered with the Syrian Arab Red Crescent for almost a year in 2020. It was always my dream to study abroad and I am very grateful it came true thanks to Jusoor!
