ABOUT ME

Welcome! I'm Isra Fejzullaj; a junior at Northwestern University in Qatar, studying Journalism with a minor in Strategic Communication.

My professional journey started at FOXSports, where I worked as a production assistant during the World Cup 2022. As I'm from Albania, Balkan politics and culture spark my interest. I thrive both in front of and behind the camera. This journey has taken me from being a backstage interviewer at the QF convocation to producing a short documentary.

Beyond my work, I love spending time with friends and family. Qatar's vibrant environment allows me to meet people from all over the world, each with unique stories that inspire me.
‍
Thank you for stopping by and getting to know a bit about me. I'm eager to connect and explore opportunities together!
