About

Ever since I graduated from the American University of Sharjah Magna Cum Laude with BA in mass communication, journalism, and minor in theatre in 2013, I have proven myself in every task I have taken in the media field, be it in writing, editing, presenting, social media, video production and videography. I joined Khaleej Times as a reporter in May 2016, making the front page within my first week of joining. My supervisors and colleagues often compliment me for my hard work, ability to take on different tasks, great writing and communication skills and thoughtful stories. My previous experience include being an Entertainment and Lifestyle Editor at Shabab20/Young+ Magazine in Dubai where I covered major film and music festivals, interviewed Arab and Hollywood celebrities and tracked latest youth trends to create relevant features in Arabic and English. I previously interned at the business desk in Gulf News where I gained valuable experience.
