Welcome to my professional corner of the web. I am an independent journalist, photographer, researcher, and translator dedicated to shedding light on critical issues of our time. My work primarily explores themes of gender issues, migration, conflict resolution, and human rights.
Thank you for visiting my site. I invite you to explore my portfolio and join me in my journey to amplify voices and stories that matter.
Over the years, my investigative and visual storytelling has found a home in prominent media outlets across the globe. My written articles and photo essays have been featured in esteemed publications such as The Guardian, Al Jazeera English, Middle East Eye, VICE, and El Espectador (Colombia). My voice has also resonated in the pages of The National (UAE) and Zona Docs (Mexico), as well as in several leading Spanish media including EL PAÍS, El Periódico, Gara, Pikara, El Salto, ARA, and La Directa.
I honed my skills as a photojournalist during an internship at El Periódico de Catalunya, and have since contributed my photography to non-governmental organizations like Oxfam, Hedayah, UNICEF Tunisia, and UNICEF USA. Each collaboration has enriched my perspective and deepened my commitment to visual and written storytelling that drives social change.
In addition to my journalism and photography, I have served as a translator for esteemed media outlets such as the BBC, and as a researcher for various organizations including the Global & International Studies Initiative. These roles have allowed me to bridge gaps in understanding and contribute to comprehensive, nuanced narratives.
