As a journalist, producer and correspondent, I focus on the intersections between environment, climate, and social equality. As the Head of Editorial at Earthrise Studio, I’m committed to expanding the climate narrative and championing diverse perspectives and tools in storytelling. I have been a part of the early development of several teams, initiatives and projects, including RYOT (before and after it was acquired by Huff Post) and AJ Contrast, where I won several awards for my 360/VR documentary producing work. At Al Jazeera, I co-created and co-hosted a documentary project, Fork the System, a refreshing look at socio-political issues through the palatable lens of food, before developing video series like Between Us and working on podcasts with the newly formed Al Jazeera’s Special Projects. I’ve also worked as a presenter/correspondent, most notably in Channel News Asia’s documentary series, Deciphering South Korea. Having worked with VR, film, photography, writing and audio, I feel strongly that every story must be told in the right medium.
