Hi! I am a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow with the Centre for Media Transition at the University of Technology Sydney. I hold a PhD in peace and conflict journalism from the School of the Arts, English and Media at the University of Wollongong, where it was awarded Examiners' Commendation for Outstanding Thesis (Sept 2021).
My research focuses on the mediation of human suffering and social justice from war and conflict zones. Particularly, I study peace/humanitarian journalism, the refugee voice, digital political participation and self-determination, and interactive journalism through the use of data and AI.
I am the author of Afghan Refugees, Pakistani Media and the State: The Missing Peace (Routledge, 2024). I am an IAMCR Peace Fellow, and also serve as an elected co-secretary of the Journalism Education and Research Association of Australia. Prior to joining academia, I worked as a journalist in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Germany, and Australia.
