Cairo, Cairo Governorate, Egypt
I’m a multimedia journalist passionate about telling stories through text, photos and video. My work has been featured by Foreign Policy, Newsweek, The Economist, Quartz, and others. I started working as a photographer on conflict and human rights issues while interning and copy editing at a small newspaper in Sana’a, Yemen in 2012.
After finishing my bachelor's degree in International Relations and Middle East Studies I moved to Tunis, Tunisia. Over 2013 and 2014 I covered the politics of the country's transition to democracy, as well as many social and environmental issues.
In early 2015 I moved to Cairo, Egypt, where I served as the Editor in Chief of a small energy newspaper, managing both local and foreign staff. I have continued to report for various publications on political and social issues in both Egypt and Libya. Currently I’m also a fellow with the Earth Journalism Network, working on a series of features about climate change and its effects on Egypt.

Part of a series for Newsweek: Farmers wash their hands after a hard day's work in Egypt's Nile Delta. Rising Mediterranean Sea levels and falling levels underground mean that the region is projected to be underwater by the end of the century. Pumps like the one shown draw water from aquifers, accelerating the problem.
