I began working at Marriott Library in 2018 as the Senior Library Specialist, and I have enjoyed helping the faculty, staff, and students in this lovely academic environment ever since. Since 2020, I have also worked as the Middle East Collection Liaison. In this role, my duties include curating the Middle East Collection, helping patrons with collection-related reference needs, and responding to inquiries from my colleagues pertaining to the collection, particularly those involving the Persian and Arabic items. Along with private law, I have studied Islamic law and jurisprudence. Middle Eastern history and Islamic history and resources are some of my interests.

I worked for several public and private, national and international, academic and educational, and governmental organizations in the Middle East, particularly in law and legal reform projects
