I’m a multimedia content producer, who’s worked newsrooms, political campaigns and workshops across New Delhi, Newcastle and San Francisco.

Since 2016, I’ve written on crime, business, soccer and everything in between. I use my experiences to inform the projects I craft, looking constantly for different avenues to engage audiences.

You can always find me learning about a new conspiracy, pour-over recipe, or curiously taking pictures of moving traffic, because my story is varied, and I’d love to tell you about it all.
