With a Bachelor of Arts in Social Work, I have dedicated my career to advocating for and providing essential services to vulnerable populations in Lebanon. As a Project Coordinator, I have led impactful advocacy campaigns and coordinated activities focused on GBV and SRH rights. I have designed and implemented a wide range of programs tailored to address the diverse needs of communities, including refugees, women, youth, the elderly, and people with disabilities.

My work involves coordinating training sessions, designing and executing structured activities, and preparing comprehensive reports to highlight the needs of these communities. I am a member of the Arab Network for Young Researchers in Economics and Social Rights and recently authored a policy paper analyzing challenges and proposing solutions to ensure inclusive education for children with disabilities in Lebanon.
