I’m an international correspondent and presenter with over 15 years of experience reporting from the frontlines of war, political upheaval, and humanitarian crises.

My work spans Europe, the Middle East and Asia—covering everything from drone strikes in Ukraine to high-stakes diplomacy and the migrant routes into the EU.

I specialise in live reporting, breaking news, and narrative-driven journalism that captures the human cost behind global events. Whether in the field or in the studio, I aim to bring clarity, presence, and depth to the stories that matter.
