I’m a storyteller and researcher passionate about using sound to connect people across cultures and experiences. I’ve planned and produced two original podcasts: one for the University of Bologna, in Italy, helping incoming students navigate cultural adjustment and overcome “culture shock,” and another exploring Kurdish identity and resilience on the centenary of the 1923 Treaty of Lausanne. Both projects taught me how powerful intimate, well-crafted audio can be in building empathy and understanding. With experience in interviewing, scripting, editing, and sound editing, I approach podcast production as both a creative and human process, one that balances structure and emotion. My academic background in International and Development Studies at the Geneva Graduate Institute and my work in advocacy and communication have strengthened my ability to tell meaningful, inclusive stories. I’m especially drawn to projects that center mental health, identity, and empowerment, and I believe that thoughtful storytelling can be a form of care. I’d love to bring my skills and curiosity to your team to help create a podcast that uplifts and inspires listeners through authentic, affirming conversation.
