I am a senior Editor and News Curator with more than 15 years of experience working in high-pressure digital newsrooms, delivering accurate, timely, and audience-focused journalism for U.S. and international readers.
My career spans breaking news, enterprise coverage, and real-time editorial decision-making in fully remote newsroom environments. For nearly seven years, I worked remotely with a U.S.-based publication, covering overnight U.S. shifts and managing live breaking news cycles.
My work demanded speed without sacrificing accuracy, and a clear understanding of U.S. newsroom standards, tone, and audience expectations. I currently serve as Editor-in-Chief of MediaBites and as Founder and Editor of SharjahNews.ae and UrduExpress.pk. In these roles, I lead distributed editorial teams, commission and edit content, and oversee end-to-end digital publishing workflows.
I am a member of the Online News Association (ONA) and WAN-IFRA, and attended ONA 2024 in Atlanta, ensuring continued alignment with evolving newsroom workflows, audience engagement strategies, and platform-driven distribution models. I am open to remote or hybrid roles in U.S. and European media organizations, including Senior Editor, Digital Editor, News Curator, or Editorial Lead positions, and welcome discussions with Editors-in-Chief and newsroom leadership teams.
