I'm an Associate Professor of Ancient Near Eastern studies. I teache in several Lebanese Universities and holds a Ph.D. from the Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes (E.P.H.E)- Paris. I have participated and co-directed several archaeological missions in Lebanon and abroad.

I'm highly concerned with cultural heritage preservation and promotion as well as their impact on the local communities. I'm a scientific advisor and consultant for several municipalities and local communities for the assessment and enhancement of their historical, archaeological and cultural legacy. I'm a member of AWFA, I worked on the design and implementation of Darb Ain Ebel and now co-directing it where I also lead hikes and excursions on the trail.
