Empowering communities through storytelling, journalism, and media literacy
I have been a media trainer for the past 7 years and have trained an estimated 3,000 youths and community members in citizen journalism, nonfiction filmmaking, digital content creation, digital marketing, and social media advocacy.
I specialize in creating custom training modules in the disciplines of communication, media, filmmaking, and advocacy. Designed for both first-time grassroots participants and seasoned journalists, the workshops blend participatory inquiry with hands-on production tools.
Hands-on mobile video production, ethical interviewing, verifying sources, and storytelling under resource constraints for community reporters.
Equipping grassroots creators to document ecological breakdown, local water struggles, and indigenous adaptation models through human-centered narratives.
Augusto Boal's Theatre of the Oppressed adapted for community mobilization, breaking down local conflict, gender dynamics, and constitutional rights through participatory performance.
Operational security, privacy protections for vulnerable journalists, recognizing coordinated disinformation, and maintaining safe digital footprints.
