BIOGRAPHY
I tell stories that move people — visually, emotionally, and memorably. With 14+ years of experience in multimedia production, I’ve led and executed content across journalism, documentaries, branded media, and digital platforms — from script to screen.
My work blends creativity with precision. I’ve operated both solo and with full creative teams, managing everything from pre-production to post — including concept development, shooting, directing, editing, drone filming, sound mixing, and final delivery.
📍 From Cairo to Amsterdam, Washington D.C. to Beirut, and all across the UAE, I’ve worked with newspapers, TV channels, government media offices, and production houses — creating content that informs, inspires, and resonates.
A career highlight: in 2014, my documentary won 2nd place out of 158 entries in a Freedom of Press competition in Beirut — a moment that reinforced my belief in the power of real, impactful storytelling.
