About Me
I’m a social media reporter and presenter based in London, telling stories that connect people to the ideas shaping our world. Born to a British mother and a Bengali father and raised across Hong Kong, Singapore and the UK, I specialise in breaking down politics, economics, tech and culture into sharp, engaging digital media — from event reporting to in-depth explainers.
Presenting Research on Social Media
I propose, script, film, edit, and produce short-form videos that translate LSE research and academic books into clear, accessible content for social media. These pieces are shared across Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and LinkedIn, reaching a combined audience of over 2.3 million.
Covering High-Profile Events on Social Media
I script, film, edit, and produce short-form videos covering LSE’s high-profile public events, reaching a combined audience of over 2.3 million across Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and LinkedIn. I attend events featuring heads of state, senior politicians, global leaders, and Nobel Laureates, capturing key moments and creating clear, engaging summaries of their arguments and discussions.
Social Media Story Takeovers
I independently script, film, edit, and upload live social-media takeovers for LSE’s Instagram and Facebook accounts, reaching a combined audience of over 1.3 million people. Each takeover begins with a presenter-led introduction, promoting the event and livestream, followed by curated clips, speaker summaries, and interactive polls.
Documentary Teasers on Social Media
I present short-form documentary teasers promoting LSE’s longer-form documentary episodes, distributed across Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube to a combined audience of around 1.6 million. All scripting, filming, editing, and production is handled by the LSE Media Team, with me as the on-camera presenter.

This section showcases my long-form presenting work, including documentary episodes, interviews, and journalism projects.
Interviews on Social Media
Conduct on-camera interviews with LSE students, staff, and alumni on topic ranging from politics and economics to current affairs, pop culture, and campus life. All videos are presenter-led and edited by the LSE media team, and are distributed across Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and LinkedIn, reaching a combined audience of over 2.3 million.
Additional Media Content
