Overview
I hold a Master's degree in Environmental Policy and a Bachelor's in Chemical Engineering; I am deeply passionate about delving into critical environmental and political matters within the MENA region, addressing the water-food nexus, with a particular emphasis on Libya and the broader North African context. I have cultivated extensive experience as a dedicated consultant. Currently based in France, I am a versatile freelance consultant, leveraging my expertise to provide research and analysis services focusing on environmental policy and risk assessment and addressing disinformation analysis tackling climate change dis/mis information.
"For MENA region, developing up to date is crucial to shed light on many of the challenges especially environmental ones, however, it is important to connect research with implementation in order to bridge the already existing gap. "
