Project Officer, UNESCO IESALC 

My passion lies in learning, collaboration, and creating meaningful impact across education, youth engagement, and multilateral cooperation. With an interdisciplinary background in management, psychology, and education, I have developed expertise at the intersection of education policy, mental health and wellbeing, international relations, sustainability, and youth and student engagement.

My professional experience spans programme coordination, partnerships, event planning, research, advocacy, and stakeholder engagement. I have worked extensively in teaching, training, mentoring, consulting, and facilitation, designing and supporting initiatives that help youth and students develop the knowledge, skills, and opportunities needed to address contemporary global challenges. I am particularly committed to advancing accessible, inclusive, and supportive educational environments that promote wellbeing, participation, and equal opportunities for all learners, including persons with disabilities and individuals from diverse backgrounds. My areas of interest and expertise include AI and education, Green Education, sustainability, Science, Technology and Innovation (STI), mental health in education, and inclusive learning systems.

Throughout my career, I have contributed to consultation processes, South-South cooperation initiatives, advocacy efforts, and multilateral and intergovernmental collaborations. I have worked with Lebanese and international NGOs, civil society organizations, youth and student networks, and intergovernmental organizations, gaining strong experience in global education policy discussions, youth engagement processes, sustainable development, and coalition building.

In parallel, I have actively participated in conferences, trainings, workshops, and international dialogues focused on sustainability, climate action, human rights, gender equality, innovation, wellbeing, higher education, and global governance. These experiences continue to shape my commitment to fostering inclusive, people-centered, and future-oriented approaches across sectors and communities.
