Jeanne Fahim holds a Bachelor’s degree in International Business and Business Law from Helwan University. She began her professional career as an Enhancement Department Manager Assistant at Orange telecom company before relocating to the United States with her husband, Dr. Bassem Zaki.

During her early years in the U.S., Jeanne invested in further professional development, completing coursework in Microsoft Excel and Company Auditing at Franklin Pierce University in West Lebanon, New Hampshire. Passionate about sharing her native language and culture, she volunteered for one year as an Arabic Language Teaching Assistant at Dartmouth College.

Jeanne later discovered a strong interest in taxation, leading her to complete specialized tax courses and work with H&R Block for five years, where she achieved the designation of Tax Professional III. In this role, she prepared CMANA’s tax filings for its first three years following its establishment in 2010.

Since CMANA’s founding, Jeanne has witnessed God’s grace and blessings firsthand. Her husband is one of CMANA’s cofounders and serves as Secretary of the Board, and Jeanne herself has been honored to serve as CMANA Coordinator since October 2017.

Continuing her commitment to growth and service, Jeanne pursued additional education and became licensed in two states as a Financial Advisor and Wealth Management professional with New York Life Insurance Company.

Alongside her professional journey, Jeanne considers one of her greatest blessings to be raising her two children, who have grown into remarkable young adults.

In her leisure time, Jeanne enjoys listening to Arabic, English, and French music, attending classical music concerts with her husband, playing squash, walking, biking and spending quality time with her family.
