Currently offering my services in the culture and education sectors as I've been constantly gravitating towards both over the past 15 years. It seems I can't get enough of panicky students, restless audiences and impossible deadlines. One has to rise to one or two challenges ! Based in Beirut, I'd be ready to jump on a plane for a short-term mission if required and happy to answer your questions if you think I could be the right fit for the position.
