I deliver tailored briefings and analyses on Middle East and North Africa geopolitical developments, militant propaganda, extremist narratives, and political violence.
This work is anchored in Bulletin from the Shadows (BFTS), the independent publication I founded and edit to analyze primary-source materials produced by militant and extremist groups. Through the publication, I track shifts in strategic narratives, recruitment themes, enemy framing, audience targeting, and political positioning.
My briefings combine current primary-source analysis with more than a decade of experience in MENA politics, security research, human rights documentation, and policy engagement. I have directed research teams, managed large propaganda archives, trained analysts, taught university courses, and briefed U.S. and European policy audiences.
