WAR CORRESPONDENT.
STORYTELLER.
RESILIENCE ADVOCATE.

I’m a conflict reporter with Al Jazeera English, documenting frontline realities from Iran to Ukraine and beyond. My work bridges the gap between lived experience and global understanding — combining tough journalism with narrative depth.

WHAT I DO

I report from conflict zones and crisis to bring audiences unfiltered insight into the human stories behind the headlines. My work spans written dispatches, visual storytelling, and analysis shaped by years in the field. Alongside reporting, I deliver keynote talks and resilience training rooted in experience — from warzones to the dojo.
