What I'm looking for

I’m open to remote or on-site opportunities in the UAE with cultural institutions, museums, and education-driven organisations—doing heritage-focused research and people-centred cultural learning that reflects lived experience and identity.

I’m a Cultural Researcher and Language Learning Facilitator, shaped by a background in architecture and heritage studies and international training in World Heritage from Germany. My work centers on the intersection of built heritage, cultural identity, and education—always grounded in lived experience.

I lead research and documentation for heritage and architecture projects, producing reports, presentation materials, and conceptual drawings that support client and stakeholder decision-making. I coordinate across multidisciplinary teams, review outputs for accuracy, and mentor junior team members on documentation standards.

Alongside research, I design and deliver language-based cultural learning. I use French to help beginners understand culture through everyday contexts, creating French-language learning materials and delivering one-to-one instruction.

Through roles in museums and exhibitions, I’ve developed strong archival and visitor-facing research skills, including archival documentation, content curation, multimedia editing, and exhibition design. I’m especially drawn to people-centred, context-specific approaches to heritage that reflect identity and community narratives.
