About
Staying true to my chosen field, I have a "360 background" in media and journalism. After qualifying as a journalist, I began my career in print, working with esteemed newspapers and magazines. Transitioning to broadcast, I have accrued more than 200 screen credits to my name. As an early adopter of digital media, I have carved out a dynamic digital career, excelling in strategy, creation, implementation and commissioning.
I am honoured to be recognised by the National Student Television Association as their patron and am excited to present the Mars El Brogy Award for Multimedia Content annually. My multifaceted experience across print, broadcast, and digital media empowers me to drive impactful narratives and connect with diverse audiences.
