About Me
I'm a trainee journalist and social media 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 storytelling — from newsroom reporting to digital explainers.

Presenting Research on Social Media
I proposed, scripted, filmed, edited, and produced short-form videos that translated LSE research and academic books into clear, accessible content for social media. These pieces were shared across Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and LinkedIn, reaching a combined audience of over 2.3 million.
Covering High-Profile Events on Social Media
I scripted, filmed, edited, and produced 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 attended 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 scripted, filmed, edited, and uploaded live social-media takeovers for LSE’s Instagram and Facebook accounts, reaching a combined audience of over 1.3 million people. Each takeover began 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 presented 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 was handled by the LSE Media Team, with me as the on-camera presenter.
