I am a journalist, photojournalist, and digital media professional with a strong background in visual storytelling, documentary production, and news-oriented content creation. I specialize in reporting across news, sports, culture, and human-interest stories, combining strong editorial judgment with compelling visual narratives. I am a professor and PhD research scholar, dual Master’s, with academic research published in a Taylor & Francis Scopus-indexed journal. This academic foundation strengthens my analytical approach, research depth, and ethical standards in journalism and documentary practice. With advanced training in digital media, communication, and journalism, I work confidently across written journalism, photography, video production, and multimedia storytelling. My experience includes professional photography, audio production, documentary filmmaking, and scriptwriting, supported by hands-on expertise with industry-standard editing and post-production tools. I bring a global perspective shaped by international academic collaboration and cross-cultural engagement. I am fluent in English, Hindi, and Urdu, with working knowledge of German and Greek, enabling effective communication with diverse audiences and international teams. Equipped with professional camera and audio gear, I am comfortable covering fast-paced news environments, sports events, interviews, and long-form visual stories. I am available for remote assignments, freelance projects, and international collaborations with media organizations, newsrooms, and digital platforms worldwide.
