About
I’m a communications professional and filmmaker focused on mobile journalism, storytelling, and using media to combat disinformation. I’ve led initiatives with UNESCO MIL Alliance and the MILEN Network, documenting human-interest stories across multiple countries and developing training to empower communities to tell their own stories. I’m passionate about bridging grassroots realities with policymakers through podcasts, short films, and strategic storytelling that informs and inspires action.
Outside of work, I enjoy exploring new cultures, collaborating with diverse teams, and continuing to learn about the evolving media landscape to amplify underrepresented voices.
