Regional Partnerships Consultant, Middle East and North Africa, Wikimedia Foundation

About me

I have been working in the field of international development and education for the last ten years, specifically in the areas of policy advocacy, evaluation, project management and teaching practice. I believe that there is a global responsibility to spread the wealth of knowledge housed within networks of institutions and individuals in order to strive for and become a more equitable society.

I was born in Montreal, QC, Canada, and grew up with my family across three continents. During my graduate and undergraduate studies, I specialized in international development studies and international education policy.

My hobbies that have stood the test of time are reading, hiking, gardening and DIY projects. As an amateur musician, I also spend a lot of time learning about the history of music and its tie to culture and society.

My work

As a part of the Community Growth team within the Advancement department, I build partnerships for the Wikimedia community in the Middle East and North Africa region, working to support them in expanding their network of contributors, readership and content.
