Strategic communications and media relations leader with 15+ years of experience delivering humanitarian storytelling, crisis communications, and global media engagement across the Middle East and the United States. With roles at UNRWA HQ Gaza, UN Radio, Alhurra TV, and Radio Sawa, I have led communications and reporting through wars, displacement, and major political developments—translating complex crises into clear, compelling narratives for international audiences, donors, policymakers, and the media. A refugee from Gaza, I bring lived experience in conflict settings and a deep commitment to ethical, dignity-centered storytelling, along with a proven record of securing high-impact coverage and strengthening relationships with top-tier U.S., regional, and international journalists. Currently pursuing an M.A. in Public Relations & Corporate Communications at Georgetown University, I integrate field experience with advanced training in strategic communications, PR writing, media relations, and integrated campaign planning.
