As a correspondent with Al Jazeera English, I bring over a decade of frontline experience in conflict zones and crises across the world — from Ukraine to Iran, Syria to Southeast Asia. My speaking engagements and workshops are built around three core pillars:
A journalist’s perspective on how global conflicts shape human lives, power dynamics and international narratives.
How to tell compassionate, accurate stories in environments shaped by fear, trauma and upheaval.
Lessons from war zones on decision making, perception and communicative clarity.
Practical frameworks for covering breaking news, high stress environments and volatile contexts.
How to craft stories in a way that resonates with global audiences and respects ethical nuance.
Safety, judgement and risk assessment lessons drawn from real deployments.
Tools for mental endurance and clarity under stress, drawing on frontline experience and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu principles.
Workshops can be delivered in person, remotely, or as part of multi day training programs.
I have delivered Presentations and Training for:
Journalists and Newsroom Teams
NGOs and Humanitarian Organisations
Academic Institutions
Corporate Leadership and Strategy Groups
Media Strategy and Risk Teams
My sessions strive to be practical, honest and grounded in real experience.
