About + Contact
I’m a photographer and videographer with 10+ years of experience in journalism and nonprofit communications. I currently work at Yale University as a video producer for the School of Medicine, where I conceptualize, film and edit original documentary-style video content.
Prior to joining Yale, I was based in Amman, Jordan, where I covered refugee communities and women's issues. My work has been commissioned and featured by UNICEF, UNOPS, the Associated Press, CNN International, WIRED, Mashable, Broadly/VICE, USAID, Gilead Sciences, the International Monetary Fund, the European Union, Sesame Workshop, Der Spiegel, FIFA, NRC Handelsblad, and more.
I recently completed my MA studies in Visual Anthropology from the University of Münster in Germany. The program blends rigorous study of anthropological theory and practice, with filmmaking and audiovisual media as a social research tool. My graduate work has focused on transnational families and migration, visual representations of motherhood, digital ethnography and auto-ethnographic practices. I received my BFA in Photojournalism from the Rochester Institute of Technology in 2012.
I live in New Haven, CT with my husband, Layth, son Yahya, and a lazy cat named Sunshine. Outside of work, you’ll find me chasing after my toddler, reading The Very Hungry Caterpillar for the millionth time, or knitting.
