I am an experienced journalist, translator, and researcher with over 11 years of experience in digital media. As a dual citizen of Egypt and Turkey, I was born in Cairo in 1988 and have been living in Turkey since 2012. I have contributed to several Arabic news websites by publishing articles, reports, and translated materials. Currently, I work as a Senior Editor (Team Lead) for TRT Arabi, the Arabic division of the Turkish state broadcaster TRT. I am fluent in English, Turkish, and Arabic, which is my native language. I have also collaborated with an Egyptian writer and researcher to produce the book "The Era of Savage Monsters: A Study of the Conflict of Discourses in Egypt during the Years of Fog, Revolution, and Blood," which was published by The Forum for Arab and International Relations in 2016.
OTL aims to build the tools necessary to help societies that are undergoing periods of political, economic and social transition. It focuses on implementing a number of media initiatives targeting Arab youth in the Middle East, aimed at contributing to building strong and effective societies and to support freedom of information and human rights particularly in the countries of the Arab Spring. OTL’s initiatives have so far reached millions of people in the Middle East and its experienced staff are awardees of a number of prizes, including the Samir Kosir Award and the BOBs.
