What I Cover

I write about education and young Bahrainis — schools and universities, and the uneven path that runs from the classroom to a first job in a changing economy.

My Background

I was a teacher before I was a reporter, and I still think the most honest people in any school are the students. I try to write with that in mind.

Journalistic Ethics

I amplify students and scrutinise the systems built around them. When those two duties pull against each other, I stay on the side of the young.
