What do you do?
As a Field Security Associate for the Training Unit at UNDSS Syria, I assist training teams in delivering safety and security training to all UN agencies and Internation Non-Governmental Organizations.
In 2021, I had the chance to develop a mobile application which served as a training tool to help facilitators and trainees “go green” by reducing their amount of paper usage.
What behavior or personality trait do you most attribute your success to, and why?
I think it would be my ability to adapt to different types of situations, because working in a safety and security department requires different levels of awareness and readiness and you have to be ready to adapt at a moment’s notice.
What is your fondest memory while working at UNDSS in 2022?
In 2022, I had the opportunity to co-develop a new training platform with the other UNDSS Syria training coordinator, Badie Fateh. We shared several funny moments while completing the project.
What advice do you have to younger, newer staff?
I would advise new staff on the value of sharing: I think colleagues should share their experiences, passions, and joy with one another, because it is through sharing that we will be able to build a better world for future generations.
What is a fun fact about you?
I would really like to try skydiving, but I’m afraid of heights.
