About

Ahlan! Welcome to my website. My name is Hanin (pronounced Ha-NEEN).

Like many journalists, I am someone who never stops learning. Coming from a family of academics, I had to get a master's degree so I got a MS in Journalism with a focus on Media Innovation and Content Strategy at Northwestern University. As an autodidact, I also taught myself programs like Adobe Premiere and Asana and skills like SEO and digital marketing.

Unlike many journalists though, I’m good with numbers and data and I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty. So if you ask me what the square root of 23865*7651993/88615 is, I mostly won’t run away. Mostly. But through data-driven insights, my skillset places me in the space where media intersects with business, tech and innovation. That’s where disruption happens and that’s where I’ll be.

Over the course of my academia and work experience, I have worked in nonprofit and for-profit spaces and developed, launched and managed multiple media products including digital publications, email newsletters and online courses. My proudest product is SheMade Digital - a mission-driven publication empowering Gen Z women of color personally, professionally and financially.

You can check out some of my multimedia storytelling work on the Multimedia page, or my work with media products, research and AI on the Innovation page. Feel free to download my resume or contact me with any questions.
