About

My passion for humanitarian work and sustainable development led me to pursue studies in International Affairs and Diplomacy. I bring over four years of experience in Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability, and Learning (MEAL), where I built strong expertise in data collection, analysis, and reporting to support evidence-based programming.

My early MEAL experience sparked a deep interest in research, which I continue to pursue through freelance assignments, providing critical analyses for various studies. As an American-Lebanese professional, I am eager to apply my skills and expand my knowledge by contributing to impactful projects across different contexts. I am highly motivated, communicative, and quick to adapt, always seeking opportunities to grow and enhance my professional capabilities.
