"I lead our urban programming globally, drawing on my development and humanitarian experience across the Middle East and Eastern Europe."
I currently lead World Vision’s urban programming globally. I have been in the organization for more than ten years and have had extensive experience in development and humanitarian work in urban contexts in countries including Lebanon and across the Middle East and Eastern Europe. I support strategy, programme and capabilities development for development and humanitarian responses in cities and other urban environments across multiple countries, including ones in Asia and Central America. I also ensure that World Vision’s learning and knowledge is shared across the organisation’s urban community of practice and with peers. I represent World Vision externally in global urban fora and platforms such as the Global Alliance for Urban Crises.
