Additionally, she brought awareness to WMF projects across the globe, including the reconstruction of the Mosul Museum following attacks by ISIS, heritage revival projects in the Old City of Ta’izz, Yemen, and initiatives intersecting with climate change, underrepresented heritage, and the inequitable impacts of tourism. Her experience advocating for urban places extends to prior roles at Municipal Art Society and Heritage Consulting Inc.
