Hello!
I’m an investigative journalist reporting on environmental exploitation. My work spans the globe, but currently is focused on stories from the Arabian Peninsula. I report on how humans and wildlife are adapting to new threats in their ecosystem, caused by either climate change or by government and corporate injustices.
I am also a seasoned web-developer and data journalist, and am based in the UAE. Have a look through my past work and feel free to reach out!
