Making Complex Projects Relatable: Mongolia’s First Green Bond
This multimedia piece demonstrates my ability to make complex financial instruments accessible and compelling. I led the research and collaborated with teams on the ground in Mongolia to film, produce and edit a story on how the country’s first green bond is transforming its cashmere industry – tracking the journey from nomadic herders on the steppe to factory floors, and connecting climate finance to the people it affects most.
Animating Audio: “My First Job – Mary Porter Peschka“
This showcases my ability to bring audio content to life visually. I produced the animation for an IFC AudioStories episode featuring Mary Porter Peschka, IFC’s Regional Director for Eastern Africa, in which she reflects on a career that began with a cold call and a leap of faith. The animation transforms a candid conversation about mentorship, women in leadership and breaking barriers into an engaging, shareable format for IFC’s digital audiences.

Telling Stories in Fragile Situations: “Terrorism Attack in Kenya“
After a devastating terrorist attack on a bus in northern Kenya, I traveled to the location on the fragile border with Somalia the same day. In a tense situation with a community still in shock, I gained the trust of local residents, obtained access to security personnel and received permission to view the scene of the attack. I edited the story locally and transmitted it on-time despite very limited connectivity and resources on location.
