Learn About Me

Working between Syria and Lebanon

Throughout the last decade I have worked with major outlets across the world. This includes covering the start of the Syrian uprising and the fall of the Assad regime, as well as the war between Hezbollah and Israel in Lebanon.

I have participated in the production of documentaries in Lebanon and Syria. I also monitor the rise and fall of jihadi movements in Syria and Iraq. I'm part of a network of local journalists and operators who work on the ground and are deeply familiar with local communities. In addition, I have ongoing contact with the majority of key actors in Syria and Lebanon.

I have worked with many journalists, and our collaborative work has been published in major outlets worldwide.
