Lead Host & Executive Producer
From 2019 to 2021, I hosted “Manṭiqa Maḥdoura” (“Forbidden Zone”)—a primetime current affairs show that evolved from a weekly broadcast into a daily live program, fueled by growing public engagement and a bold editorial vision.
Over more than 300 episodes, I led direct and often intense conversations on Morocco’s most pressing social and political questions—including gender, religion, and the citizen-state relationship—creating a space that honored audience intelligence and journalistic integrity.
Produced by TELEMAROC, the show became a platform where journalism met accountability.
These moments are more than highlights—they shaped a voice unafraid to challenge silence.
News Anchor & Live Interview Host
I bring extensive experience covering political, economic, and sports events, delivering accurate and engaging news across platforms. Calm under pressure, I connect audiences to the human stories behind the headlines. Committed to integrity and adaptability, I embrace new media to inform and inspire in today’s fast-changing world.
Investigative Journalist & On-Camera Field Reporter
An investigative journalist with over 11 years of experience uncovering stories of power, injustice, and resilience across the MENA region, the U.S., China, and Russia. I produce award-winning, in-depth documentaries—leading investigations from field reporting to scripting and final delivery.
My work combines exclusive access, high-stakes interviews, and rigorous open-source research (OSINT), with a focus on human rights, political corruption, and social justice. I craft multi-platform narratives that reach global audiences through television, digital, and social media.
Fluent in Arabic, English, and French, I also provide voice-over narration and culturally accurate translations. From editorial direction to production management, I bring a sharp eye for detail, a deep respect for truth, and a relentless drive to tell the stories that matter—especially the ones left in the shadows.
