I work at the intersection of social impact, storytelling, and community-building.

For over a decade, my work has focused on supporting locally led initiatives across the Middle East and North Africa — particularly in Palestine — through strategic planning, program design, partnership-building, and narrative work that centers dignity, nuance, and long-term vision.

Today, I am a senior team member at BuildPalestine, where I help steward a growing ecosystem of Palestinian-led social enterprises through strategy, communications, and movement-building. I also founded Gaza Champions, a mutual aid initiative that connects people around the world directly with families in Gaza through sustained, relational support.

I lived and worked in Gaza for five years with Mercy Corps at Gaza Sky Geeks, a community center and tech hub advancing economic access for Palestinian youth. There, I launched Palestine’s first immersive coding bootcamp and built partnerships with global tech companies to hire graduates into meaningful work. That experience profoundly shaped how I understand systems, resilience, and the quiet, relational labor required to build alternatives to entrenched power.

Across all of my work, I am motivated by a belief that community — when tended with care — is one of our most powerful tools for survival and transformation.
