About
I have over 15 years of experience in the news industry and in my most recent role I managed a digital video and script writing team that creates and delivers stories across platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and TikTok at TRT World. My team produced everything from 30-second reels on Instagram to 8-minute explainers on YouTube and has won a Lovie Award for our Kashmir lockdown coverage. Our video 'The Killing of Willie McCoy' was a finalist for long form story at the Shorty Awards where we also won the Audience Honor. Some of our best content has had over a million views and central to it all has been one element: writing that connects with people around the world
