Her research experience ranges from conducting ethnographic research, participatory research and evaluation, content analysis and PRA among others. Working with international agencies and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) such as UNICEF, Catholic Relief Services (CRS) and CARE-Egypt, GTZ and KFW as well as with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) such as the Association for the Development and Enhancement of Low-Income Women in Egypt (ADEW) has provided her with hands-on experience in both ends of the development spectrum.
