Most recently, I started my own production company Fair Voyage Films and chased stories across Southeast Asia. Before that, I worked as the Multimedia Director for Coconuts Media, Southeast Asia's fastest growing digital media property. I have reported from refugee camps and environmental disaster zones. I have covered revolutions, historic elections and violent protests across the globe. In addition to me production work, I taught digital media classes at Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism, Bangkok's Chulalongkorn University and Webster University's Bangkok campus. I'm a graduate of Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism, where I received two fellowships to extend my studies: the Digital Media Associate teaching fellowship and the New York World reporting fellowship.
