INTERESTS & EXPERTISE
Journalism: I am interested in everything that has to do with journalism precisely broadcast
journalism: live newscasts, panels (debate), talk shows, reporting, news editing and writing.
Mainly, I’m interested in programs that go on air and in simultaneous editing rather than other
programs that require non-linear editing. Based on my personality, I prefer news reporting and
covering events because I like working under time pressure.
Causes: I am an activist. I defend a lot of political, social and humanitarian causes especially
women rights. I enjoy doing the “leg work” and being on field.
