International Affairs Editor/Cultural Affairs Editor - I write about political and cultural fare and have spent nearly 3 years documenting the independent music and art scene in the Middle East. I have written about trends in fashion, culinary arts (e.g. restaurants, organic farming innovations in Lebanon, etc), and I also feature a hard-hitting Op-ed every month on political topics as wide-ranging as the business practices of the US Pharmaceutical Industry, the United States' domestic political and social developments, US Foreign Policy, and the latest developments in Lebanon, Palestinian Territories, Syria, Egypt, and Jordan. Recently, I have written extensively about the Arab uprisings that have gripped the entire Middle East and North Africa.
