Perspectives on International PR From the Middle East

Wednesday, October 27, 2010

My background is diverse, to say the least. I’m an American of Arab descent. My mother is Palestinian, and my father is Libyan. I am also a practicing Muslim woman. When I first considered a career in public relations, I dreamt I would help change the way the world communicated. In particular, I wanted to bridge the gap between the East and the West.

During my time in school at the University of Oklahoma, I was a Gaylord Ambassador, a member of a group of students selected to assist with the Journalism College’s outreach activities. As an ambassador, I was introduced to Renzi Stone, my mentor in school and current employer.
