What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a neurosurgical role where I can deliver complex neuro-oncology care, keep building through research and case-based learning, and contribute to teaching while growing into an independent surgeon.

I am a Board-Certified Neurosurgeon and a Resident Doctor of Neurological Surgery at Makassed Charitable Society Hospital in Jerusalem. My training combines patient-focused neurosurgical care with advanced clinical decision-making across complex neurological conditions.

Alongside clinical work, I served as a Research Associate with the Palestinian Neuroscience Initiative at Al-Quds University School of Medicine, contributing to academic and clinical research. I have authored and presented work including neuro-oncology and neurosurgical case-based literature, with multiple conference presentations and peer-reviewed publications.

I also support education through my experience as a Teaching Assistant in neuropathophysiology and advanced neurology, and I have built strong preparedness through AHA Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) and Basic Life Support (BLS). I am driven by safe surgical strategy, rigorous scholarship, and continuous learning.
