About + Contact
I’m a photographer and videographer with 10+ years of experience in journalism and nonprofit communications. I currently work at Yale University as a video producer for the School of Medicine, where I conceptualize, film and edit original documentary-style video content.
Prior to joining Yale, I was based in Amman, Jordan, where I covered refugee communities and women's issues. My work has been commissioned and featured by UNICEF, UNOPS, the Associated Press, CNN International, WIRED, Mashable, Broadly/VICE, USAID, Gilead Sciences, the International Monetary Fund, the European Union, Sesame Workshop, Der Spiegel, FIFA, NRC Handelsblad, and more.
I completed my graduate studies in Visual Anthropology at the University of Münster in Germany, where I developed my interests in transnational families and migration, visual representations of motherhood, digital ethnography and auto-ethnographic practices. I received my BFA in Photojournalism from the Rochester Institute of Technology in 2012.
I live in New Haven, CT with my husband, Layth, sons Yahya and Ziad, and a lazy cat named Sunshine. Outside of work, you’ll find me chasing after my kids, sewing or knitting.
