I am the Director of the Advanced Political Studies Department at Trends Research and Advisory in Abu Dhabi. My current research interests focus on  American and Israeli politics. Prior to joining Trends, I spent six years as a researcher specializing in Israeli politics and Middle East–U.S. relations at the Emirates Center for Strategic Studies and Research (ECSSR).

Throughout my career, I have worked primarily in think tanks, authoring numerous research and policy papers, book chapters, books, and media articles. My work has been featured in leading media platforms such as The Jerusalem Post, Aletihad newspaper, and the Al-Ain News and Mufakiru Alemarat websites.

 I have also lectured on several occasions at the UAE Ministry of Defense and the University of Montreal in Canada, and have presented papers at regional and international conferences, including the International Government Communication Forum in Sharjah. Additionally, I taught a course in political analysis as part of ECSSR’s training program for young researchers, and a course in analyzing the strategic international arena for UAE government employees.

My professional experience includes internships at high-level government institutions such as the UAE Prime Minister’s Office and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.  I was selected by the Crown Prince Court of Abu Dhabi to represent UAE youth in Germany and have twice been honored with the Sharjah Award for Excellence in Education.

I hold a Master’s degree in International Security from Khalifa University and a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science from UAE University.
