I have a fascination for human behaviour, which led me to do not one, but two master's degrees in Anthropology. I studied cinema production by Surinamese Maroons and Trap Music in Rio de Janeiro. Still, my passion has never been the academic world, and I have built a career in research, writing, cinema, and marketing. I have worked with multiple international marketing companies as a content strategist, copywriter, and script writer. I enjoy learning stories and sharing them with viewers.
