Born and raised in Beirut, I tell stories about identity, longing, and the nuances. I directed and edited the Capital Emmy-nominated documentary Common Grounds? (2021), earned a degree in Foreign Affairs from UVA, and have worked with BBC News, Christianity Today, and organizations from Sydney to Montana as a filmmaker and video journalist.

When I’m not filming or writing, I’m probably meeting new friends in cafés, impulse-buying used books, workshopping new ideas with friends who may or may not regret asking, and — somehow — staying loyal to Manchester United — no matter how much they test me.

I live in Brooklyn, NY.
