About

International Relations and Journalism graduate currently pursuing a Master of Arts in International Security at Sciences Po Paris. Interested in violent extremism, transnational organized crime, terrorism and migration, with a particular focus on Europe and the North Africa region. While not currently in a newsroom, I still carry a journalist’s curiosity, creativity, a commitment to rigor, and, hopefully, an eye for stories that matter.
