About

I am an award-winning international journalist and documentary producer with 15+ years of experience reporting on conflict, human rights, migration, political unrest, and social justice movements across Africa, the Middle East, Latin America, and the United States.

My field reporting has spanned high-risk environments including surveillance, detention, and hostile conditions in war zones and popular uprisings. I have produced and directed award-winning short and long-form documentaries from pitch to post-production, written and edited daily news scripts under tight deadlines, and led story development and cross-border production coordination for global outlets including Al Jazeera, BBC, The Intercept, HBO, and Amazon Prime.
