About

I am a communications professional operating at the intersection of government policy, international engagement, and strategic diplomacy across Saudi Arabia's public sector. At Expo 2030 Riyadh and Saudi Pavilion at Expo 2027 Belgrade, I lead public communications for one of the world's largest diplomatic and cultural platforms. Previously, I managed the International Media workstream for Saudi Arabia's engagement with the ALECSO, managed the digital communications of the Saudi Delegation to WEF 2023, and advised PIF and Saudi ministries on international positioning and strategic communications at Consulum, APCO Worldwide, and Hill & Knowlton.
