About me

About me
Since having graduated with a BA in Media and Communications in 2016, I have continued my journey in social media and communications. I've worked at different organizations, multinationals, and start-ups. Today I am a consultant with an NGO and a freelancer for several accounts worldwide, working on their strategy and content. I aspire to continue my graduate studies in creative writing soon!

Why Beirut?
I've grown up in Beirut; it's the only city I have a love-hate relationship with, but no matter how hard living here gets, I can't imagine myself living anywhere else. Beirut is a city of contradictions. A city of arts, history, culture, and the city of nightlife, diversity, and love. What's not to love, even when Beirut becomes too hard to love?

Art Scene Gallery

Modern Art

I'm no art connoisseur, but walking into Art Scene in Gemmayze, I immediately spotted some pieces that I could have stared at for ages.
