Welcome to my Blog! ..Well more like an overall info page about what you might like to know about me in the ‘reportage’ field.
I am usually based on the West Coast whilst the Canadian political landscape remains an active hub for me.
I have history in the Society of Environmental Journalists (SEJ) and (CAJ), and, more recently (FPA) the Foreign Press Association 2013-2018 and (NPC) the National Press Club (NPC) 2017-2023 in Washington. 
I am a 3x UN media accredited correspondent, both New York (2010) and UN Geneva campus (2011, 2014). I was was an invited as an independent media representation participant in a UN Geneva symposium in 2014. #AntiFGMGlobal #GAFGM on twitter. 
Cross-border issues are key for me. I classify myself as an investigative journalist. I write for new media outlets as well as long-established print publications. I blend writing, videography and photo-journalism into creative-form.
What do I mean by investigative? Don’t worry I get that question a lot. Critical thinking about the world in which we live, advanced source-seeking and background-checking – probing deeply into research projects of my choosing (and/or those of my fave editors) and the pursuit of eclectic interviews with people I find the most interesting.
I’m not afraid of politically sensitive topics and on a good day being in possession of a signature style/fortĂ© for spontaneous and revealing Q&As (I’ve been told anyway). I’m easy to talk to and easy to reach. I enjoy covering international news items and I guess you could say I have a social justice bent.
Motivated to cover issues that have some social relevance and perhaps, in some small way, I try to help to improve people’s quality of life.
I’ve enjoyed freelancing here and there for the odd random rag and for a couple of glossy mags covering various topics on internet trends, community politics, cultural (social) anthropology (see my blog posts), lifestyle choices & social identity – also the alternative music and fashion scene and eco-travel (something I like to dabble in on a more personal level).
That’s about it other than if you’d like to gab and share ideas about art please check my e-portforlio in the ‘Artwork’ TAB on this site. Would welcome hearing from you!
