From slicing brains to making films, I have followed a non-linear trajectory into the world of TV and filmmaking. Many claim I was born in the wrong century and they may be right, although I do enjoy the technological advancements of this one.

I picked up the camera 10 years ago, when I was working as a science communicator. I haven't been able to put it down since and my work, through TV and digital communication, has taken me all around the world.

One thing has never changed, and that this my drive to tell rigorously, humbly and candidly the stories of the people and places I encounter, of making a difference by amplifying the work of others, and of telling important social and environmental investigations. 

In 2024 I decided to start training as a multimedia journalist. I am currently studying towards the NCTJ qualification in Multimedia Journalism with News Associates and will graduate in 2026.
