I am a Wikimedian and an independent academic researcher with a deep curiosity for history, science, and culture. I believe that knowledge is not just something to acquire but something to interact with—to challenge, reinterpret, and connect across different disciplines and perspectives.

Languages are central to how I approach learning. I write and translate primarily in Tarifit, contributing to the preservation of linguistic and cultural heritage. I also speak French and English, which allows me to engage with diverse perspectives and deepen my research across cultures.

One of my greatest passions is inquiry. Whether through interviews, discussions, or simple observations, I seek to ask questions that open new pathways for understanding. I see conversations not just as exchanges of words but as opportunities to shape thought and expand the horizon of knowledge. This has drawn me toward podcasting, where I explore perspectives and encourage meaningful dialogue.

Beyond language and discussion, I am deeply interested in scientific literacy, particularly in fields like biology, chemistry, genetics, and artificial intelligence**. Understanding how science interacts with society—especially through technology and AI—fascinates me, and I find great value in exploring its implications for healthcare, ethics, and the future of human progress.

Philosophically, I resonate with the idea that knowledge is a shared pursuit—one that thrives in curiosity rather than certainty. Inspired by Socratic thought, I believe that questioning established ideas is the key to true intellectual growth. At the same time, I see learning as a deeply human experience, shaped by culture, history, and the stories we tell. In many ways, exploring knowledge is like translating between worlds—bridging gaps, preserving meanings, and uncovering deeper layers of understanding.

For me, learning is an endless journey—one that transcends books, borders, and disciplines. Whether through research, conversation, or storytelling, I am always seeking new ideas, fresh perspectives, and deeper connections with the world around me.

As part of my efforts in translation, I have worked on adapting content into Darija, such as the article on First Aid, making essential knowledge more accessible to a broader audience. This is just one example of my broader commitment to linguistic and cultural preservation, with upcoming translations planned for Tarifit and other regional languages.
