About

Dedicated to make your projects succeed, I’m a content producer, video editor & musician. 🎙️

I originally trained as a musician, specialising in opera, music theatre, and jazz at King’s College London — and I’m active as a performer today with studio and live audience professional experience.

Since 2022, I’ve also worked professionally in video editing and digital content production. Over the past year, I’ve freelanced with the BBC World Service, where I produce and have made top performing social-first videos, write scripts, create YouTube content, and craft engaging captions. I’ve created both informative journalism pieces and marketing content across different digital formats.

My independently made documentary Black and Queer Discrimination in Iranian Society was the top performing film of the week on BBC World Service YouTube in Sept 2024.

I’m currently open to freelance work in:
– Content production (editing, scripting, social media, YouTube & management)
– Singing (lead or backing vocals, MT & Jazz)
– Voiceover (acting or adverts)
– Event speaking

I developed, filmed, edited, and produced the documentary Black and Queer: Discrimination in Iranian Society for BBC World Service YouTube. I led the entire production process, from shaping the creative direction and scripting interview questions, to managing filming logistics, conducting interviews, and creating the final edit. I also sourced all visuals and ensured the piece met BBC editorial standards while telling a sensitive, complex story with clarity and impact.

The piece was the top performing film of the week on BBC World Service English YouTube channel.
