Message

At Canva, I took ownership of MENA SEO strategy and delivered 40%+ of the H1 target within weeks. I also helped replace machine-translated Arabic with dialect-aware copy and partnered with developers on technical SEO and user-journey improvements.

At Airalo, I introduced a natural, dialect-aware content strategy that helped a new email campaign drive a 32% revenue increase in MENA. I also led recovery from the AI Overview disruption, restoring 30% in organic visibility and increasing traffic and clicks by 28% within months.

At SEO Sherpa, I managed SEO and content strategy for bilingual and Arabic-only client brands, delivering 20%+ month-over-month and quarter-over-quarter organic growth across multiple brands. I hold an MBA in Marketing & International Business from the University of Toledo and bring Arabic and English content experience across MENA and global markets.
