I am a transdisciplinary scholar and artist with fourteen years of experience in higher education, research, and academic leadership, collaborating with major research universities and international nonprofit organizations. My work focuses on student opportunity, inclusive academic design, and strategic program development—guided by a deep commitment to access, cultural diversity, and meaningful student engagement.

My research examines the diasporic construction of West Asian identities through frameworks such as media studies, migration theory, and critical surveillance studies. Alongside my scholarship, my creative practice explores themes of displacement, memory, and belonging through live performance, multimedia installation, and interactive formats such as video games.
