I’ve been working in televisions, radios and newspapers since when I finished my Master in media communication, in 2008. I can create video news on my own: starting from the idea to the final product and also work in a team of reporters. I have been working in some independent documentary and I learned a lot from those experiences, I am willing to bring it to the next level. I can work both in front and behind the camera or as a producer/coordinator. I know different kinds of editing programs and cameras My Multicultural background makes it easy for me to adapt in new contexts. Writing, producing and filming videos is my way to express my creativity. In my free time, I love to learn improv theater.

Journalist, documentarian, digital archivist. I've worked for Reuters and Agence France Presse as a video news journalist as well as with Fatherly, AJ+ and Simple Most for social media video. I've filmed and covered breaking news in more than six countries (India, Kosovo, Panama, Mexico, Japan and the USA) and produced 100s of news pieces. I've interviewed A-list Hollywood celebrities, Indian breakdancers and Japanese anti-nuclear protesters but the interview I'd most like to do is with my mother when she was my age (if I had a time machine!) My speciality is producing or video editing for news but I sometimes work on commercial projects or television programs as creative director or production manager. My personal interests include boxing, cooking gluten free dishes and digital archive management. I love to collaborate and I believe firmly in 100% risk, 100% reward.
