Crafting stories that matter
As a London-born writer and producer, I focus on character-led storytelling that explores art, culture, and the human condition with an emphasis on social impact. My work includes innovative tech-focused stories for TRT World and collaborations with The New York Times and Thomson Reuters Foundation on transformative social issues. With a background in journalism and documentary film directing, I am passionate about crafting narratives that resonate deeply and inspire change.
