I have extensive experience engaging media globally.
My work has been featured in leading publications such as The Washington Post, The New York Times, Newsweek, LA Times, and Foreign Policy. I have provided live commentary on major English, French, German, Brazilian, and Spanish outlets, as well as Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, and Kurdish media.
A lesser-known but no less significant aspect of my work has been in assisting documentary filmmakers. I am currently doing outreach and distribution for Brave New Films, a california based non-profit. I helped organize screenings in Gaza, the West Bank, Israel, and Washington D.C. for their documentary “Gaza: Journalists Under Fire.”
Before, I helped documentary filmmaking and digital sstorytellers to capture the Arab Spring and bring support to local media workers and human rights defenders in this region. While at CPJ, I facilitated a connection between the Syrian media collective “Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently” and Hollywood director Matthew Heineman, leading to the award-winning documentary “City of Ghosts” (2017). Previously at Freedom House, I helped connect filmmakers to produce several award-winning documentaries about the Egyptian revolution, including “Uprising” (2012) and “The Square” (2013).
