About me

---

I am a consultant with over a decade of experience as a journalist, think-tank analyst, development specialist, and academic researcher. I have focused on a wide range of topics—from violent conflict, sub-state armed groups, and climate change to geopolitics, foreign policy, sanctions, and political economy—primarily in Iraq, Iran, and West Asia. 

My insights have been shared across prestigious platforms including the Carnegie Middle East Program, Atlantic Council, Al Monitor, IISS, and Aljazeera Centre for Studies. International outlets like The National, Aljazeera, DW, and the Associated Press have featured my analyses and media comments.

I am here in my capacity as an analyst, but I am also someone with a revolutionary spirit who supports those who are repressed by speaking up and advocating. I am driven in my life by passion, empathy, and a strong desire to see a more equal and just world.

Hobbies: Sea walks, seafood, cafe hopping, reading (non-fiction), learning languages, making Spotify playlists, and socialising with all sorts of people!
