Lucy Provan

Lucy graduated from Manchester University with a degree in French and Arabic.

She then took the obvious career choice of moving to Libya and working in a Ghadaffi government-run investment fund. This sadly did not last past the particularly eventful spring of that year.

Since then, Lucy has written about being election observer in rural Egypt, the time she met some Baha'is and what they thought of Egypt's constitution, the internet revolution in Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Hamas' education system, Libyan drug gangs, and Syrian oil.

She has also worked for the International Citizen Service scheme in Palestine, in a womens organisation and a UN department documenting the effect of the West-Bank Israeli wall, a Bahraini think-tank, an Egyptian newspaper, the Carter Center Tunisia observation mission and the NGO, Plan Senegal.

Lucy recently worked on the documentary Tahrir: My Revolution.

She is available to freelance and can be emailed at [email protected], or tweeted at @LucyProvan! She is keen to communicate with you, waiting poised as the man in the background of this webpage.
