About me

After graduating from Northwestern University in Qatar in 2021, Aljawhara set out to make a meaningful impact on young students. With a strong academic foundation and a background in media, she chose to pursue a career in teaching, allowing her to integrate communication tools into the classroom and enhance her educational approach. During this time, she gained invaluable insights, fostering growth both in herself and in her students. Witnessing the transformative power of education deepened her commitment to making a positive difference.

This journey reaffirmed her desire to contribute meaningfully to the lives of others. Later, Aljawhara pursued her master’s in News and Documentary at NYU, where she rekindled her passion for filmmaking. Surrounded by a diverse creative community and exposed to powerful storytelling tools, she began exploring stories that often go untold. Her work centers on themes of displacement, identity, and resilience, with a special focus on marginalized voices.

Driven by a mission to amplify the unheard, Aljawhara approaches each project with empathy and intention. For her, filmmaking is not just a medium, it is a form of advocacy, a way to document truth, and a bridge between cultures. Through her lens, she hopes to inspire dialogue, spark change, and leave a lasting impact on audiences around the world.
