I'm a Palestinian broadcast Journalist and field reporter who holds a B.A. in media, radio and television broadcasting and a Master’s degree in New media and Journalism. My initial desire to major in this field stemmed mainly from my experience living in one of the most conflicted parts of the globe, and my desire to share people’s experience in their everyday life with the rest of the world.
