As an independent research consultant, journalist and editor, I conduct confidential due-diligence and investigative research on individuals, companies, institutions, and political contexts. I turn findings into clear, source-supported English-language reports, profiles, and research memos.
I work with Arabic- and English-language sources, public records, media archives, and interviews. I verify identities and timelines, reconcile conflicting accounts, and distinguish confirmed facts from allegations and inference.
At The New York Times, I reported on the Arab Spring, the Syrian uprising, Lebanese politics, and regional affairs. I also developed sources across government, civil society, business, and local communities.
At The Daily Star, I advanced from general assignment reporting to senior political reporting and newsroom leadership, covering elections, political violence, public institutions, and the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah war. Earlier, I reported from Iraq for The Washington Post and edited features for Gulf Air Inflight Magazine, Emphasis Media.
