What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values creativity and social impact, fostering growth and collaboration.

I am an award-winning writer with over 10 years of experience in social media strategy, storytelling, creative writing, and research-based communication. My academic background includes a PhD in Ethnic Studies, and I have served as a professor, where I taught English using innovative methods such as the theatre of the oppressed. My dissertation focused on Syrian women's protest culture and storytelling, and I have produced a short film on this topic, showcasing my commitment to amplifying marginalized voices.

Throughout my career, I have developed a strong command of the English language and have honed my skills in SEO, editorial work, and copywriting. I have created curricula for refugee learners, emphasizing narrative expression and social justice. My published works include contributions to various anthologies and journals, where I explore themes of displacement, gendered protest, and the intersection of art and activism. I am passionate about mentoring students and fostering their growth in creative writing and publication.
