Why did you become a journalist?

As a journalist I often meet people at two critical moments. They are either celebrating a milestone or they are experiencing the worst moment in their lives. To be entrusted with documenting and sharing these human moments pushes me to honour that privilege with fair and accurate video and photography. I hope these stories will enable us to expand beyond our bubbles, practice accountability, and embrace new perspectives.
