About me
I started my career as a business journalist, writing for print. Remember newspapers and magazines? Over the past decade, I’ve turned to strategic communications: how to speak persuasively to different audiences, win over opinion makers and mobilise change.
I’ve placed work in The Guardian and BBC Indonesia, where a short film I pitched, produced and directed hit 300,000 views.
I also run Start Me Up, an international programme I founded in 2016 that connects talented young people from universities like UCLA, Oxford, Cambridge, NYU and Berkeley with nonprofits in Indonesia — giving them career-defining experience across communications, technology, policy and engineering. .
