What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply my public relations, HSE, government liaison, and operational security experience in oil and gas projects, supporting compliant operations and effective coordination with local authorities and stakeholders.

I led public relations for General Electric in Baghdad, managing government communications, strategic partners, and administrative and legal requirements for international staff and operational units.

On the Gazprom Badra Project with GardaWorld Security, I secured vital clearances and permits, liaised with the Middle Oil Company, coordinated convoys between Badra Base Camp and Central Production Facilities, and delivered Ministry of Interior reporting.

I also managed HSE for MSK Group supporting Petrofac and Gazprom Badra, implementing safety policies, coordinating employee training, investigating incidents, and presenting HSE reports to senior management.

My earlier work supporting PSD operations and international training teams strengthened my ability to navigate security operations, communicate across English and Arabic, and work effectively within local tribal and governmental environments in Wassit.
