Why work with me

I hold a PhD in Media and Cultural Studies (UK) and bring over 20 years of experience across journalism, international development, and academia. I began my career as a journalist working across news and features, including reporting on the aftermath of conflict-related violence. I later led communication initiatives at the United Nations Development Programme, focusing on areas including poverty reduction, crisis prevention, access to justice, and peacebuilding.

I teach and conduct research at leading UK universities in media, journalism, and communication, with a particular focus on how complex social and political issues are represented and understood in public discourse. This combination of experience across journalism, policy, and academia enables me to help clients communicate complex ideas clearly, responsibly, and effectively.
