What I'm looking for

Seeking a dynamic role that leverages my expertise in content creation, storytelling, and digital production, with a focus on sports and humanitarian topics where I can contribute meaningfully.

As a seasoned Digital Producer and Content Writer, I bring over 15 years of experience in crafting compelling content across diverse industries, including commercial, medical, tourism, and governmental sectors. My current role at Dallah Advertising Agency involves managing bilingual content translation, web development, and media preparation, showcasing my versatility in adapting to new topics and skills.

Previously, at beIN SPORTS, I led a team of 18 members, strategized SEO efforts, and developed digital content, including special event microsites like the FIFA World Cup. My work has also involved editing, translating, and creating promotional articles that significantly boosted page views and revenue.

With a strong educational foundation in Sports and Physical Education, I've also contributed to various sports-related content, providing comprehensive coverage of major events. My passion for sports and humanitarian topics brings a unique perspective to my work, complemented by practical experience in coaching and training.
