About

I am a seasoned journalist and media professional with wide-ranging experience in editorial, administrative, and on-screen roles. Over my career, I have successfully contributed to the launch and management of leading national television channels including Waqt News, Neo TV, 7 News, and Sun News. I have worked as Shift In-charge in leading newsrooms, served as Project Head during the launch of two major channels, and also built my on-screen presence as a Program Anchor. This diverse experience has equipped me with a strong understanding of newsroom operations, content strategy, and broadcast management. With a background in Mass Communication and Management, I bring both creative insight and organizational leadership, making me well-suited for roles that require innovation, execution, and team-building in the media industry.
