All of my professional experience has been in the Embassy of the United States of America in Yemen and in Total Exploration & Production Yemen. In both workplaces, I have developed advanced communications, translation, and organizational skills. The communication skills I have developed from this background include: proven skills in corporate communications, strong writing skills to develop publications, key team-building attributes, the ability to guide and direct the appropriate resources to achieve a communication and messaging purpose, and intimate familiarity with diplomatic corps and well as oil and gas industry. I live currently in Saudi Arabia and have a transferable residence permit (Iqama). I am enthusiastic about exploring the opportunity of working with your organization and look forward to meeting you.
