Saba Shami

Saba Shami is a journalist based in Madrid, Spain.

I was graduated from the University of Westminster in London with a Master degree in Economics and Governmental Reform, later I worked at the BBC Media Action there in London,  and as a production assistant at a local film production company called Myriad Global Media. 

Then I moved to Palestine to work as a human rights investigator with the United Nations, where I wrote many articles and published stories about victims of human-right violations by Israeli occupation. In parrelal to that I was involved in short film production training, with Danish Action Aid and Copenhagen Film School, which I then could put in practice and produce or participate in production of short films that highlighted human rights's causes. 

Later I moved to Spain to learn Spanish and did a practical course of  TV presenting and correspondence. I also did a  social journalism course, with El Mundo newspaper, which deals with humanitarian and social  related issues; like refugees, poverty, gender discrimination, development, etc. 

I speak Arabic, English, and Spanish fluently. I also master the skill of storytelling and have produced and published several case studies with  personal  narration. 

I would like to occupy a post in Journalism, ideally production of short documentaries that deal with humanitarian, social, cultural, or medioambiental issues.
