About
Since 2022, I’ve been a Senior Content Producer with CNN, where I work with the network’s international affiliates to cover news events around the world. I also work as a cross-platform journalist who has done on-air reporting, written features and voiced, produced and edited video packages for the network’s digital platforms. In 2023, I was part of a team that won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Breaking News Coverage of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine the prior year. I’ve since worked on multiple developing and breaking stories including India’s mammoth elections in 2024, Israel’s war on Gaza, the US-Iran war, South Korea’s martial law crisis, and more recently, the deadly 2026 flash floods in Nepal. Prior to CNN, I was the host and sole producer of a weekly business talk show, ‘All About Money’, on the Hong Kong International Business Channel (now HOY). I interviewed entrepreneurs, experts and businesses from around the world, covering a breadth of topics centered around social and economic reform including: how the pandemic rendered supply chains vulnerable to human trafficking, unpacking the 2021 farmers’ protests in India, the Afghan economy pre- and post- the Taliban regime, water bankruptcy in Iran, and the economic cost of space debris, among other issues.I also spent more than three years working with Reuters as a producer and reporter for its broadcast unit and its digital TV platform, Reuters TV. During my time at the broadcast unit, I produced daily and weekly news shows for a Hong Kong TV network that collaborated with Reuters, and reported on a number of major news events in the region including the 2019 anti-government protests in Hong Kong, and the introduction and impact of the city's national security law.At Reuters TV, I produced, edited and voiced packages covering stories from around the world, in conjunction with Reuters reporting.
