I began my academic journey with a Master's degree in management science with a focus on Finance at the University of Sousse, graduating with honors in 2016. Subsequently, I pursued a Doctor of Philosophy in Finance at the University of Côte d'Azur from 2017 to 2020. Under the guidance of Professor Mohamed Arouri, my research focused on the intersection of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and market efficiency.

I also contributed as a Temporary Lecturer at the Institute of Business Administration (IAE) of Nice, covering Portfolio Management, Research Methodology, and Derivatives at both Bachelor and Master levels. Additionally, I lectured on Financial Analysis at The University of Law and Political Sciences of Nice and Management Science at the University of Sousse.
