About
Field reporting, documents and the people behind them.
As a staff reporter at The Daily Star, Bangladesh’s leading English-language newspaper, I investigated sensitive justice and human-rights stories through fieldwork, interviews and document research. My reporting has also appeared through the Asia News Network, and the Global Investigative Journalism Network (GIJN) named one of my 2022 investigations among Bangladesh’s top investigative stories of that year.
Earlier, I trained as a broadcast journalist at bdnews24.com and interned at The Hindu in Bengaluru. At the University of Nevada, Reno, I’m building on that foundation in digital storytelling, multimedia and media innovation, with a continuing interest in journalism research and how technology is changing the field.
