I’m an international award-winning 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.
