My Journey
In my extensive career spanning over two decades, I have deeply engaged with the complexities of peacebuilding, conflict resolution, and humanitarian efforts across the Middle East and North Africa. As a leader adept at navigating intricate contexts, I have spearheaded transformative initiatives, crafted strategic visions, and cultivated resilient programs driven by purpose and meaningful impact. Currently, I serve as a strategic advisor, senior consultant and trainer, providing valuable insights to international, regional, and local nonprofit organizations to help them achieve their objectives. My experience in senior executive positions within globally recognized institutions has solidified my determination and refined my leadership abilities. Beyond my professional roles, I have contributed extensively to various media outlets and research centers, transcending geographical and cultural boundaries in my advocacy for universal human rights and peace. With a Master’s in Business Administration complementing my Doctorate in Dental Surgery, my journey reflects the intersection of diverse disciplines, each contributing to the rich tapestry of my professional narrative. As I continue to advance, my unwavering dedication remains to foster positive change and cultivate a future characterized by compassion and resilience.
