My Skills & Experiences

I value; freedom, integrity, honesty, ownership & involvement

My objective is with freedom as a motive, independently and in a unique way, compiling socially relevant reports on subjects that are often not accessible to the public.

I compose a story in a creative way with images, which has been assessed analytically, objectively and critically, clearly showing the social relevance of the subject within society.
