What I'm looking for

I'm looking for mission-driven roles at the intersection of people, content, and impact, where I can coordinate cross-functional projects, build partnerships, support recruitment, and deliver bilingual communications.

I've managed projects, partnerships, recruitment, and donor requirements across media and development organizations, including a regional expansion that launched Chad's first IFCN-accredited fact-checking unit. The initiative produced more than 40 fact-checks and analysis reports while exceeding most project targets.

Across project coordinator roles, I've overseen eight simultaneous engagements, delivered grant-funded programs, recruited and onboarded more than 10 hires, and built an internship program that led to four full-time hires during the conflict in Sudan. I've represented organizations with UN agencies, diplomatic missions, Big Tech, and regional media and digital-rights networks.

I also bring hands-on Arabic–English localization, editorial review, social media, and digital production experience from Beam Reports, Katch Media, J. Walter Thompson MENA, and Turner Media.
