Bosnia and HerzegovinaWhat I'm looking for
I am an experienced investigative journalist with a long career reporting for major Bosnian outlets and producing multimedia investigations. I specialize in deep research, analysis, and crafting engaging stories that hold power to account.
My work includes award-winning investigative series and documentary films, and I have been recognized as Journalist of the Year (2023) and received the European Union Award for Investigative Journalism (2024). I routinely combine traditional reporting with multimedia formats to reach broader audiences.
I mentor and train emerging journalists through workshops, webinars, and collaboration with educator networks, creating curricula and delivering sessions on investigative techniques and media literacy. I also contribute to projects that emphasize public-interest reporting and anti-corruption investigation.
I bring project management experience from editorial roles, a commitment to ethical, impact-driven journalism, and the ability to lead cross-disciplinary teams to produce investigative outputs that inform and catalyze change.
