What I love about my role:
Storytelling is alive - it evolves as we do, and that’s what makes this work so meaningful. After two decades in one of the world’s busiest newsrooms, I’ve learned there’s nothing more powerful than helping someone uncover the truth at the heart of their story and shaping it so it lands with clarity and resonance. I’m endlessly curious and driven to find the gold that often gets overlooked. To me, storytelling is one of our most vital and underused tools for making sense of the world - and ourselves.
