About me

Gender Female

Occupation Teacher and Researcher
Location Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom
Introduction Recently finished my BA Honours degree in international politics at University in Scotland. Wrote my final year dissertation on water scarcity in Palestine and Israel and how this affects the conflict as a whole. It has since been published with the Applied Institute of Research in Jerusalem. I have also had 2 articles published with the 3rdi Magazine and one in the Caritas Magazine. I have been volunteering as a teacher in Palestine West Bank for a couple of months and working as a part-time intern researcher for Spanish NGO based in Palestine: ASECOP. I plan to be the next John Pilger meets Dawn Porter meets Louis Theroux. I'm just trying to 'make the world a better place' (excuse the cliche, but it is meant with sincerity!)
