Journalism has the power to change lives.

I first understood this aged 10, when I watched a report on BBC Newsround about famine in East Africa. Moved by the personal accounts of victims' plights, I was determined to make a difference. I started fundraising for the Disasters Emergency Committee's appeal, and soon found myself being interviewed for BBC Newsround at an event at 11 Downing Street.

That experience taught me that good, human-focused journalism really can change lives and perspectives, not just for the viewer, but also for the person whose story is being told.

Now, working as a Video Producer for Agence France-Presse (AFP), I enjoy exploring international humanitarian issues, as well as covering arts and culture and political landscapes around the world. 

I completed the prestigious MA International Journalism course at City St George's, University of London in 2025. During that time, I covered broadcast, digital, podcast and print journalism, as well as taking elective modules in Humanitarian Reporting and Arts and Culture. I gained practical experience in all aspects of putting together news: from editing live programmes, to reporting and presenting, to working as technical director in the gallery.

Before my MA, I graduated from Durham University with First Class Honours in Modern Languages and Cultures (French and German). I speak French and German fluently, and have an intermediate Spanish level. As part of my course, I spent a year living and working abroad, improving fluency and developing a truly global outlook, which shapes everything I do.

I am conscientious, driven and quick to learn and adapt, and take on all tasks with a smile on my face. I thrive when working in a team and learning from those around me, and enjoy listening to feedback to continue to improve and develop.

I have extensive experience leading teams, for example as Programme Editor for assessed radio and TV news programmes during my MA.
