Syrian Arab RepublicWhat I'm looking for
I am a senior video editor with over a decade of experience in digital media, video editing, graphic design, and social media advertising campaigns. I combine technical mastery with a strong sense of visual storytelling to produce compelling, high-quality content.
My work spans roles at Filmaura Media Production, Aljazeera 360, Enab Baladi and Zebra Production, where I led video documentation, interviews, event media production, and exhibition organization. I bring proven project management and leadership skills from multiple production environments.
I am multilingual (native Arabic, fluent English, conversational Turkish) and skilled across Premiere Pro, After Effects, InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator and CapCut, which I use to deliver polished edits, motion graphics and visual design tailored to audience needs.
I am committed to impactful storytelling and volunteer-driven projects, including advocacy and gender-equality film work, and I seek roles where I can continue producing narrative-led video content, mentor teams, and support creative campaigns that drive engagement.
