About Me

I’m an endlessly curious, semi-nomadic story hunter-gatherer (of the plant-based type). I usually move around the Mediterranean hunting for information about inequality, oppression and environmental degradation, and gathering stories about social justice, resistance, dignity and restoration.

I have worked with non-profit organisations across the Mediterranean and as an independent journalist reporting from Portugal, the Balkans, and the Middle East. My work has been published by The Guardian, Al Jazeera, The Washington Post, BBC, Foreign Policy, among other outlets, and has been supported by the IWMF and Journalismfund Europe.
