I hold a Master of Arts degree from Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, with a focus on culture, equality, political art, human interest, and social media reporting. My training includes coverage of international politics and culture, short documentary storytelling, investigative stories, conflict reporting, features, AI art, cultural criticism, and long-form narrative.
I offer a unique blend of creativity, technical expertise, and storytelling prowess. I have expertise in editing, videography, narrative writing, and multimedia production. Proficiency in editing software: Avid Media Composer and Premiere Pro. Fluent in Arabic and English, with proficiency in Spanish.
With a proven track record in video production and journalism, I bring extensive experience spanning various roles in content production for broadcast, streaming, and social media platforms.
It was the 10th anniversary of the start of the Syrian civil war. As a CBSN video producer, I produced multiple segments interviewing Syrian immigrants who fled the war. I also shared my own personal experience in a live interview with CBSN's Vladimir Duthiers and Anne-Marie Green.
Character-driven stories are one of my favorite ways of storytelling. I have over three years of experience in developing this type of storytelling that engages the viewer with the characters as they tell their life story, challenges, and what inspires them in life.
I produced and developed cost-effective streaming shows derived from broadcast programming for digital platforms. "Here Comes The Sun" was born from the award-winning show, CBS Sunday Morning. It showcased extended interviews with celebrities and compelling feature stories.
Research has shown that most people, especially those under 40, consume their news through social media. I am keen on developing compelling reels that combine the best footage, music, and font to optimize audience engagement.
