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.
I report from conflict zones and crisis to bring audiences unfiltered insight into the human stories behind the headlines.
