What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to apply my audiovisual skills in meaningful projects, particularly in cultural or humanitarian contexts.

I am currently pursuing a Master's Degree in Visual Anthropology at Aarhus University, where I am honing my practical and theoretical skills in the visual fieldwork. My education has equipped me with the ability to design audiovisual projects and utilize media as a participatory research method. I am passionate about integrating visual storytelling with anthropological insights.

Prior to my master's program, I completed a Post Graduate in Crisis and Humanitarian Action, which provided me with essential theoretical tools to navigate disaster environments both nationally and internationally. My academic journey began with a Bachelor's Degree in Anthropology, where I developed a strong foundation in ethnographic research and the significance of photography in understanding diverse cultures.
