about

I'm an Indonesia-based journalist writing features and news stories out of the country and beyond. I've reported on general elections, natural disasters, ethnic minorities, business, lifestyle and more from one of the world's largest democracies.

My work has appeared in ABC News (US), Al Jazeera English, Nikkei Asia, The China Project, The Economist, The Guardian, the South China Morning Post, The Telegraph (UK), TRT World, WIRED and more. 

I was previously in Taiwan covering Taipei-Beijing tensions, its Southeast Asian migrant community, culture, food and others. 

I've also traveled to China, Uzbekistan, Timor-Leste, Malaysia, Thailand, New Zealand and India for assignments. I'm particularly interested in human stories that intersect politics and society.

I started writing for the media in 2012, contributing book reviews and travel articles to Indonesian newspapers and magazines. I run my PR and content writing agency RadVoice when not doing journalism.
