Project Management

I have strong project management experience in both humanitarian response and development settings, overseeing projects from planning to reporting. I’m skilled in drafting work plans, coordinating teams, managing donor requirements, and ensuring timely delivery. I use tools like Microsoft Excel, MS Project, Trello, Asana, and Google Workspace for coordination and tracking, and KoboToolbox and Power BI for data collection and analysis. My approach combines structure, flexibility, and a strong focus on impact.

Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E)

I’ve supported the design and implementation of M&E strategies for humanitarian and development projects, focusing on practical, field-adapted tools. I’m experienced in creating indicators, conducting assessments, and producing reports such as progress reviews, lessons learned, and success stories. I regularly use tools like KoboToolbox, Excel, and Google Forms to collect and analyze data, ensuring accountability and continuous learning.

Stakeholder Coordination & Networking

Throughout my career, I’ve worked closely with a wide range of actors — from local authorities and civil society groups to UN agencies and INGOs. I’ve represented organizations in cluster meetings, built partnerships, and facilitated collaboration to align goals and improve outcomes. My strength lies in clear communication, cultural sensitivity, and the ability to connect field realities with broader strategic frameworks.

4

Critical Thinking

I approach complex situations with a structured and analytical mindset, always striving to understand underlying causes and long-term impacts before taking action. Whether evaluating project data, reviewing proposals, or supporting academic research, I ask the right questions, challenge assumptions, and connect details to the bigger picture — ensuring decisions are well-informed and purpose-driven.

5

Problem Solving

In fast-paced and resource-limited environments, I’ve developed the ability to stay calm under pressure and adapt quickly. From field-level coordination challenges to technical content delivery and digital platform glitches, I rely on logic, collaboration, and creativity to find practical solutions that are both efficient and sustainable. My goal is always to solve problems in a way that empowers teams and adds value to the broader mission.

6

Strategic Planning

I have hands-on experience contributing to strategic planning processes across humanitarian and development projects. This includes identifying needs, setting priorities, aligning activities with donor frameworks, and translating complex objectives into actionable plans. I’ve co-drafted proposals, designed implementation strategies, and supported the development of annual M&E plans — ensuring consistency between goals, timelines, and resources. My ability to connect operational details with broader outcomes allows me to think both practically and long-term, whether in field coordination, content strategy, or institutional development.

Project 12

This introductory video was made for the Master Programme Peace and Conflict Studies at Otto von Guericke University in Magdeburg, Germany. I handled this project from A to Z all by myself, production and post-production. My aim was to make it simple, natural, and inspiring which are attributes I already found among students and lecturers. I captured spontaneous background footage and weaved it in with the interviews in a way that seemed vibrant and engaging.

Software I Used:
Adobe Premiere Pro

I volunteered for two months with the Caesar Families Association, where I supported their advocacy work by designing Instagram posts to help raising awareness about enforced disappearance, detention, and the voices of victims’ families across national and international audiences. Although my involvement was short-term, I plan to continue contributing to their efforts after completing my studies, as I strongly support their cause and the pursuit of justice for victims and their families.

A Syrian advocacy group that represents families that have lost loved ones under torture, our loved ones became the victims of forced disappearance in the Syrian regime’s prisons.

In addition to being awarded the prestigious DAAD scholarship for my Master’s studies in Peace and Conflict Studies at Otto von Guericke University, I have actively pursued a wide range of professional training courses that complement my field and academic experience. These include core areas such as Project Management (PMP), Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E), Information Management, and Business Analytics. I have also completed essential training in Safety and Security (in both field and office contexts), Cybersecurity, Kidnapping response, and the use of tools like Microsoft Teams to ensure operational efficiency. My commitment to ethical, inclusive, and principled work is reflected in specialized training in Protection Mainstreaming, Child Protection, Gender Policy, Environmental and Climate Awareness, and Safeguarding. I have also completed compliance-focused courses on Anti-bribery, Anti-corruption, Prevention of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing, Workplace Harassment Prevention, 0 Tolerance Policies, and the Principles and Values of humanitarian work. These trainings, along with soft skills development in teamwork and time management, have shaped my ability to work effectively, responsibly, and strategically in complex and sensitive environments.
