Kristina tracked down a girl who we shot at the height of the refugee crisis for this fantastic follow up. It involved a lot of research and travelling time, but she got the story. We were consistently impressed by the quality of her journalism, and would not hesitate to use her again.
I pitched, produced, shot and edited this video for The Daily Telegraph. I also wrote an accompanying written story for it.

I pitched and shot this video of a teenage Syrian girl fleeing a camp in Hungary in search of her parents. It received over a million views on Facebook. Six months later, I tracked her down at a refugee camp in Germany where I did a follow-up piece for AJ+.
I produced this story for BBC on a Turkish business that has gone global. It has created an app that directly connects companies with secret shoppers who carry out market research. I found the contacts, did the interviews and helped direct the shots. I also wrote an accompanying feature http://www.bbc.com/news/business-41817820
