At Rudaw Media Network, I lead programming strategy informed by geopolitical risk, regional trends, and high-level stakeholder engagement. I oversee multi-sector initiatives across healthcare, climate, and infrastructure, and my content strategy has earned Webby, Telly, and Stevie Awards.
Previously, I managed Rudaw’s Washington bureau, built relationships with U.S. government and media stakeholders, and led breaking-news coverage and interviews with influential figures. I’ve managed more than 1,500 productions, increased social engagement by 60%, and bring deep Middle East networks alongside fluency in Kurdish, Arabic, English, and Persian.
