Nour is an urban planner for Asakura Robinson, an award-winning US-based planning, urban design, and landscape architecture firm. Hailing from Aleppo, Syria, Nour has lived and worked in Kuwait, Montreal, and Boston and currently calls Houston home. She graduated from MIT in 2019 with a Masters degree in City Planning where her Masters thesis evaluated the state of public transportation in Kuwait and developed a framework to assess industry structure models for the regulation of public transportation for the Arab world. During her time at MIT, Nour was one of the founding organizers of the first MIT SciTech conference and was also Graduate Chair of the Arab Students Organization. She also holds a Bachelor’s degree in International Development and Sociology from McGill University.

Prior to joining the board, Nour was a volunteer with the AAA working on initiatives like the webinar series. She became a board member, serving as Director of Campus Engagement, to continue working on initiatives important to the Arab world, primarily through maintaining a strong connection between a renowned institution like MIT and the region. She genuinely believes that the AAA can make a difference in the lives of many and she hopes to be a part of that change. Her hope for the next two years is to build a brand for the MIT AAA that is synonymous with growth and innovation in the Arab world.
