My involvement in the humanitarian sector stems from my personal mission to relieve suffering and foster self-reliance of individuals and people in times of conflict, crisis, and at the nexus of development. I guide policies related to integrated nutrition and public health program development while increasing advocacy efforts, funding, and visibility for nutrition sensitive and nutrition specific initiatives. I also provide technical leadership in building field teams that can manage emergency and sustainable nutritional and mental health needs.  I collaborated in leading the entire Syria nutrition response system, that included strengthening advocacy, funding, and profile-raising efforts for this crisis, while providing essential support for the refugees.
