I am a psychologist, filmmaker and theatre practitioner experienced in working with refugees and multicultural communities. I combine psychosocial support, community engagement and creative methods to empower youth and women, strengthen resilience, and deliver ethical, people-centred programmes in cooperation with NGOs and cultural institutions. I am highly adaptable and comfortable managing multiple responsibilities simultaneously.
My work blends field psychology, documentary storytelling and community theatre to foster resilience and social inclusion. I collaborate with NGOs, cultural organizations and educational institutions to design participatory projects that amplify marginalized voices and create ethical, impactful media and training experiences.
