About me

Traveler, adventure lover. A strong believer in digital rights & social movements. I co-founded 7amleh The Arab Center for the Advancement of Social Media. I love music, cooking, and doing famous painting puzzles. When I'm not at work you will find me in my kitchen cooking for family and friends.

My work

I have experience more than 15 years working with NGOs national and international, and I have worked on communications, project management, and digital rights. I joined the Wikimedia Foundation in March 2022 and I am part of the Movement Communications team. As a senior communication specialist my work is focused on the Middle East and North African communities. My main goal is to support the community in MENA, create networking channels, and help to increase access to free Knowledge around the region.
