    My Resume

    PROFESSIONAL ​INFO​​

    I started working in journalism and media when I was 15 years old. During high school, I heard about a youth newspaper emerging. I loved to write. Perfect fit. In a few years, I became the managing editor of the first youth newspaper in Palestine. My experience in the non-profit sector informs what I do as a scholar. I'm interested in transformative research that not only tells us about humans and the world, but also does something good.
