— Experience
A reverse-chronological overview of roles in education, refugee integration, and community work. Most recent first.
2020 – Present
Self-directed
Remote / field-based
Advisory, research, training, and writing across education and refugee integration. Projects have included programme design support for NGOs and foundations, qualitative field research, practitioner training facilitation, and policy writing. Works selectively — a small number of engagements at a time so each one can be done properly.
2018 – 2020
Regional Education Platform
Middle East / Europe
Led qualitative research engagements and contributed to platform documentation and capacity support for practitioners across several countries. Produced research outputs for both operational teams and funding audiences, keeping findings accessible without simplifying what they found.
2016 – 2018
NGO Consortium
Lebanon / Turkey
Provided advisory support on refugee-inclusive education design for a consortium of NGOs working in displacement settings. Work covered programme review, teacher support frameworks, and structured consultation with affected communities, schools, and local actors.
2015 – 2016
Community Training Initiative
Field-based
Designed and delivered training for teachers, community workers, and NGO field staff. Focus areas included inclusive classroom practice, community engagement methods, and documentation skills for non-specialist practitioners working in displacement contexts.
2013 – 2015
Community Integration Initiative
Urban displacement context
Supported the design and delivery of community integration programming in a municipal setting. Coordinated between field teams, host institutions, and external funders. Maintained monitoring documentation and contributed to reporting and programme review.
2011 – 2013
Local Community Organisation
Syria
Delivered non-formal education and literacy sessions for adults and young people through community organisations. Work was community-led and language-focused, designed around what participants themselves identified as useful rather than what an outside framework assumed.
2010 – 2011
University Research Project
Academic setting
Supported a research project on displacement and informal learning. Responsibilities included interview support, field note organisation, and contribution to analysis and reporting for academic and practitioner audiences.
2007 – 2010
University
Syria
Studies in social sciences and education with a focus on community development and applied learning. Dissertation on informal learning networks in contexts of displacement and community disruption.
