Profile
I have been undertaking research and analysis of the Middle East since 2014 across a wide variety of sectors, as I have worked with policy thinktanks, NGOs, academic research centers, tech companies, and consulting firms focusing on both current events and historical trends in the region. My wide exposure to elements related to conflict and rupture in the Middle East resulted in my specific interest in collective trauma in post-conflict periods as it arises over contested incidences and memories of mass killings.
