About

With over 19 years of experience in filming, video editing, voice-over, and production management, I am a creative senior producer working at the most massive and prestigious mega-events, such as COP28 and Expo2020 Dubai. I am passionate about deconstructing briefs, exploring concepts, and delivering high-quality content that meets the expectations and objectives of each project. I have a BA in Mass Communication/Media Studies from the University of Sharjah and am fluent in Arabic and intermediate in English. As a creative production manager, I collaborate with various workstreams, including experience strategy and design, to ensure the alignment and coherence of the creative direction. I also manage the production crew, budget, and schedule, and handle any changes or challenges that arise during the production process. Previously, I worked as a production manager and producer at Expo 2020 Dubai, where I supervised the production team, handled filming requests, produced social media content, and supported outsourced production companies. I have demonstrated my skills in new media, creative direction, and video editing in various projects, such as music videos, documentaries, and news segments. Above all, I am a dedicated team player, proactive problem-solver, and motivated leader who is driven by a relentless pursuit of excellence and customer satisfaction in every project.
