This is my professional website that demonstrates my research, writing and teaching experiences.

I am a historian of late Ottoman imperialism in Yemen, examining how local dynamics shaped imperial governance. My work brings together archival research, inter-imperial analysis, and critical approaches to colonial studies. I am a dedicated history educator and researcher exploring empire, mobility, and local agency in late Ottoman Yemen. I strive to make complex historical narratives accessible and meaningful for diverse learners.
