In over 20 years of shaping global narratives, I’ve discovered one truth: the most impactful stories are about people. From covering world-changing events like the 2008 financial crisis, the EU refugee crisis, the Paris Agreement, and COVID-19, to leading campaigns addressing global challenges, my career has evolved from traditional broadcasting to digital and new media. These experiences sharpened my skills in broadcasting, presenting, media strategy, and storytelling, while also enriching my leadership and training abilities. I’ve anchored news shows, led international teams, managed editorial workflows, and built strong media networks, including partnerships with outlets like The Washington Post, to bring impactful stories to life. Bilingual and AI-curious, with dual Master’s degree in Journalism and a passion for neuroscience and psychology, I bring a growth-focused approach to empathetic storytelling that connects, inspires, and drives action. As an introvert, I’ve learned that empathy and emotional intelligence are my strongest tools. They’ve allowed me to communicate authentically, forge deep connections, and thrive in high-stakes environments. This journey wasn’t without challenges, it took years of personal growth, resilience, and learning from setbacks (and, let’s be honest, it’s still a work in progress). The mistakes and unexpected turns shaped who I am today, fueling my curiosity and resolve. Here, I share the insights I once searched for: the transformative power of empathy, resilience, emotional intelligence, and authentic storytelling. These tools didn’t just shape my career, they shaped me. While my path might have looked different had I known them earlier, every challenge became part of a story I’m proud to share with others on their journeys. Join me in exploring how empathy, emotional intelligence, and storytelling can create deeper connections and drive growth in both work and life.
