I'm a Somali-Canadian journalist based out of Toronto with an interest in refugee stories, human rights, Indigenous people, and international politics with a focus on East Africa and the Middle East. I've had experience as a producer and a reporter in both print and broadcast as well as current affairs and documentaries. I began my career with investigative stories, however I choose to be a journalist so that I can share the stories of underprivileged populations. I think that media often creates a dichotomy with "the West" and the rest of the world. What i love about the power of storytelling is the opportunity to show the similarities across cultures and build compassion and understanding.

If there's one thing I feel passionate about, it's story telling. More specifically through a visual medium. From start to finish I enjoy every step in the process of putting together a story. I am well equipped with the ability to shoot, interview, edit, write and report using an HD camera and Final Cut Pro 7. At the moment I am working for my local cable news station on a part time basis, and am hoping to expand my professional repertoire by seeking out every opportunity possible. My interests are a wide spectrum, ranging from community based pieces to larger scale stories involving social issues, and politics. Everyone has a story to tell and I love being apart of the process that pieces them together in a compelling, accessible format.

I am a documentary filmmaker with over 10 years of industry experience in all levels of the production process. My first directorial effort, the short documentary Reclaimed, had it world premiere at the Planet In Focus Film Festival in Toronto this past November. However, I've become a bit jaded by the lengthy time lines of the film festival process and would rather make short films for an online and quicker release schedule. Films that can have a greater and more immediate impact. I'm very interested in telling small stories that express universal themes. Stories of individuals and their struggles, intimate stories that speak to the big issues of our times.
