Request a demoI'm an investigative journalist, digital storyteller, and media consultant based in Muzaffarabad and Islamabad, with over a decade of experience in journalism, media strategy, and documentary production. Holding advanced degrees in Mass Communication and Political Science, along with a U.S. certificate in Digital Media, I focus on underreported stories from Azad Jammu and Kashmir and other conflict-sensitive regions. My work—published in outlets like The New York Times, VOA, The Independent, and DAWN—centers on the socio-political and humanitarian impact of the Kashmir conflict. I've directed several short documentaries on human rights and governance, supported by institutions like the U.S. Department of State, USAID, and the ICRC. Passionate about storytelling, I aim to amplify marginalized voices and spotlight the lived realities of Pakistan-administered Kashmir.
