about.
I am currently working as an assistant producer for the Alpha Grid at the Financial Times.
As a multimedia journalist, having lived in Hungary, Iceland, France and England, I mainly focus on humanitarian and environmental issues through my work. On this website, you will find photo essays, long features and short documentaries on the topics of mental health and human rights as well as travelling and lifestyle. Additionally, I have done thorough research on press freedom and the effects of climate change documentaries on viewers.

#newsroom #copywriting #collaboration
Voice of London is a live news website run by BA Journalism students in their final year for a period of three months. The topics range from lifestyle/culture, sports, in the form of written, audio, and video features. Besides copywriting, we took on editing and proofreading roles. The following articles were my contribution to the site.

#editorial #magazine #publishing
"re[define]" is a 52-page sustainable fashion magazine produced and created by second-year Journalism students at the University of Westminster in London.
​
Role: Editor-in-chief
After pitching the magazine and it got selected by other students and the tutors, I was overseeing the production, selecting the features that would go in the magazine and proofread the copy. We designed the magazine in InDesign from scratch. Additionally, I organised the photoshoots and was the photographer for the project.
film-
making
My documentaries mainly focus on human stories relating to mental health and human rights. They are always built on thorough research and several in-depth interviews. I am usually the director, cinematographer and editor of these films, working with talented filmmakers, actors and, of course, brave interviewees to create something meaningful each time.
photo-
graphy
Photography has always been a fundamental skill that I developed over time by travelling and relocating to different countries. My subjects are normally natural scenes taken from the streets of big cities or peaceful locations in nature. As an active journalist, being a photographer has proved to be an essential skill. Most of the time, I can complement my written work with original and copyright-free visuals.
