What I'm looking for

I seek roles that leverage my diplomatic and partnership-building expertise, offer cross-border program leadership, and provide opportunities for strategic impact and professional growth.

I am a results-driven business development and international relations professional with over six years of experience cultivating high-value partnerships and managing multi-million-dollar projects. I engage C-suite executives, government leaders, and private-sector stakeholders to advance strategic objectives across the Middle East and North Africa.

At the Embassy of the State of Qatar, I designed and executed more than 50 diplomatic and commercial engagements and managed project budgets exceeding $1M while negotiating vendors to optimize costs. I led crisis communication efforts during COVID-19 and partnered with the U.S. State Department to streamline regulatory approvals and foster multilateral dialogue.

Earlier roles in facility management and sales sharpened my operational oversight, revenue growth initiatives, and direct-sales abilities — including generating $110K+ in sales as a canvasser. I am fluent in English and Arabic, with basic Spanish, and skilled in stakeholder engagement, program management, and CRM-driven pipeline management.

I am currently pursuing an M.A. in International Relations with a concentration in International Development and seek opportunities where I can leverage diplomatic experience, cross-cultural communication, and partnership-building to drive international programs and business expansion.
