A curious journalist who loves people’s stories and their deeper meanings. I know how to listen, ask the right questions, and write in a way that makes even complex topics make sense—whether they’re about culture, society, or the economy. I enjoy finding connections where they aren’t immediately apparent and conveying them to readers in a way that’s clear, engaging, and respectful of the facts.
I believe that good journalism doesn’t start with answers, but with genuine curiosity. And that a story doesn’t have to be loud to have the power to change something.
Motto: “The most interesting answers aren’t in the headlines—they’re in the quiet sentences in between.”

Stocking up on fuel seems like a great idea to people. In reality, however, it doesn't pay to stock up on petrol or diesel.

It doesn’t pay to stock up on fuel. With old fuel, it’s like using the reserve frequently.
