I began reporting in Cairo in 2009 when I first joined the field as an intern in the Daily News Egypt. I then began reporting for other news outlets. In 2012, I became a freelance reporter and worked with various international news organizations as a journalist. I have video, audio and print skills. I am an Egyptian was born in Cairo and raised in Dubai. I like to think that i have managed to grasp the life within the Middle East as an Egyptian. Yet at the same time, given my western education I was able to identify a middle ground between both the East and the West. I traveled and worked in other places within Europe and the Middle East at a very young age. I received the David Rubin First Amendment award’14 from Newhouse.
