I’m a writer-turned-photographer-turned-multimedia journalist, but, as you will see here, I’m most comfortable and effective producing video features and short documentaries on a wide range of subjects, from environmental preservation to sociopolitical oppression.

I currently cover West and Central Africa from my base in Dakar, Senegal. I have a master’s degree from the Newmark Graduate School of Journalism and my work has been published by The New York Times, GlobalPost, Al Jareeza, Voice of America, CNN, as well as many international organizations and institutions. I worked at the BBC for five years from the Dakar bureau, where I produced television, radio and digital content in English and French, which I speak fluently.

My greatest strength is my versatility, which allows me to  independently produce high-quality video outputs — as well as secondary and tertiary outputs for print, broadcast and social media — handling every stage in the process, from pitch to publication. While I have worked on many stories as part of a team, I am presenting here only projects on which I worked alone or had the editorial lead. Please feel free to peruse this site, which is a work in progress. I hope the content speaks for itself but please feel free to reach me via the contact page if you have questions.
