I’m a bilingual Arabic-English video producer, editor, and camera operator with 10+ years of experience delivering news, documentary, and digital content. From fast-turnaround newsroom edits to interview-led storytelling, I focus on clear visual narrative, accurate editorial judgment, and pacing that keeps audiences engaged across broadcast and social platforms. I’ve worked with major production environments in Australia and Saudi Arabia, including SBS Arabic and international, public-interest projects. I’m comfortable across the full pipeline—filming with Canon C70/DSLR systems, managing multi-source post-production, and completing colour grading and audio finishing—while ensuring culturally sensitive collaboration when stories require extra care.
