The Regional Center for Conservation and Restoration RCCR The three frameworks for Jarash Regional Center are; conservation and restoration, training and research. On one hand, this programmatic framework will work to respond to the challenges of the Jordanian antiquities sector in the field of cultural heritage conservation, and to achieve integration with the academic role that the Jordanian universities which offer specialized programs in the fields of conservation and restoration, with lacking an institutional role to take on its shoulders in practical training and rehabilitation tasks. The location of the project was decided to be an adaptive re-use of a heritage governmental building built in 1952 in Jerash city in northern Jordan.
My Role: I was responsible of coordinating and co-managing all the establishment activities from the initial starting point until the final phase of launching the RCCR ( 2017-2021). Activities included: coordination between the beneficiary (the Department of Antiquities of Jordan DoA), the funder (the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation AICS), the rehabilitation works managers (United Nations Office for Project Services UNOPS). Preparing the Preliminary studies regarding the aim of the project, the training program, define the profile for the future trainees, checking and registering all the machines, material and equipments received by the fund.

Master’s Thesis
2018-2019
The Design and Evaluation of Protective Shelters for Mosaic Pavements in Madaba as a Conservation and Presentation Strategy - The Prophet Elias Church as a Case Study.
The purpose of this study was to learn from earlier designs and experiences of protective shelters in the Mediterranean region and in Jordan. Taking the area of Madaba as the core of the study, three main case studies were selected comprising the shelter at St. Stephen’s Church Complex in Um er-Rasas, the Memorial of Moses in Mount Nebo and the shelter at the Church of the Prophet Elias in the Madaba Archaeological Park. This has resulted in arriving at recommended solutions regarding one of the selected cases, namely the shelter at the Church of Prophet Elias

Tourism Managment Plan for Qasr al-Abed in Iraq al-Amir Qasr al Abed is the only standing Hillinistic structure in Jordan.
