EgyptWhat I'm looking for
At MC Group, I developed climate-change and public-awareness content, including North Africa campaign messages and scripts for audio and animation.
With Arab Renaissance for Democracy and Development, I supported advocacy and outreach through targeted articles, communications plans and media support for Sudanese media professionals and human-rights advocates. I also supported Arab youth preparing for COP27 with communications guidance and training on field photography.
At UN World Food Programme, I developed storytelling and citizen-journalism training for young refugees and delivered coaching in video and photography. I supported participants as they created communications products for WFP’s Facebook account.
Across roles with UNHCR, GIZ, USAID, Oxfam GB and other organizations, I’ve worked on humanitarian communications, media relations, public-awareness campaigns and regional outreach. I translate complex issues into targeted content for different audiences and platforms.
