Be it an emotional podcast episode about daily life under war in Yemen's Sanaa, a feature article on mental health in South Sudan, a photo series about the strength of Africa's women or a video shoot for a social video - for all these things, I'm at your service. Throughout my journalistic career I've truly honed my skills as a multimedia producer. Over the last 2.5 years, I had the opportunity to help launch the Al Jazeera English social video unit, became the editorial lead of that unit and then moved on to my longtime love for audio when I produced and reported episodes of the new Al Jazeera podcast The Take. Before that I worked for large European political institutions as an editor, analyzing and summarizing the German media landscape on very tight deadlines. I've led teams before and during my time at Al Jazeera. On top of that, I've been a photojournalist off and on for about 10 years and even taught video journalism at the American University in Cairo. In 2018, I was one of the lucky fellows of the International Women's Media Foundation, with whom I went to South Sudan to cover how women in particular are trying to improve their country's and community's dire conditions.
