My journey into the realm of journalism, content production, and storytelling has been marked by a diverse array of experiences, each contributing to my growth as a dynamic and multifaceted media professional. Born in Manama, Bahrain, and having navigated various cultural landscapes, I bring a global perspective to my work, underpinned by a Master of Science in International Journalism from the University of Stirling.The foundation of my career was laid early on, blending creative pursuits with practical experience. As a Social Media Officer at NS Design in Bahrain, I honed my skills in graphic design, marketing, and SEO optimization, crafting content that resonates with audiences and enhances brand visibility. This role was complemented by my work as an in-store magazine editor and part-time model, where I learned the art of visual storytelling and personal branding.Transitioning into more focused media roles, my internship as a blog writer in Karachi allowed me to explore the intricacies of news writing and content strategy, while my stint as an Assistant Swimming Instructor taught me the value of clear communication and adaptability—a skill that proved invaluable during my time as a Production Runner for BBC Scotland’s Debate Night. Here, I navigated the fast-paced environment of live studio production, gaining insights into logistical coordination, equipment handling, and the workflow of a major broadcast operation.My academic journey has been equally enriching, with a Bachelor’s degree in Film, Media, and Journalism, where I developed a solid foundation in film theory, media production, and storytelling. My undergraduate and master's projects not only showcased my technical skills but also my ability to engage deeply with subjects, as evidenced by my investigative journalism on asylum seekers and a photo-essay on stranded international students.Beyond the classroom and professional settings, I have been actively involved in community and leadership roles through Rotaract, where I've organized charity events and contributed as a photographer and content creator. My tenure as a Student Ambassador and Publicity Officer at the University of Stirling allowed me to support and mentor peers, highlighting my commitment to fostering supportive environments.My skill set is broad and well-honed, encompassing Adobe Creative Suite, Final Cut Pro, Avid, photography, videography, and SEO, alongside fluency in multiple languages. This technical proficiency, combined with my experience across different aspects of media production and content creation, positions me as a versatile asset in journalism and media roles. I am driven by a passion for storytelling, a commitment to ethical journalism, and a continuous pursuit of excellence in all forms of media communication. Read Less
