about

I’m a writer-turned-correspondent and now the founder of RadVoice Indonesia, a Jakarta-headquartered PR and strategic communications agency. I currently lead a team based across various parts of Indonesia, committed to nurturing a remote-first work environment and developing my colleagues’ journalism and storytelling expertise.

Before startup life, I reported mainly from Indonesia and Taiwan. I began in print before expanding into online media, while occasionally working in TV and radio. My journalism has appeared in ABC News (US), Al Jazeera English, CNA (Singapore), CNBC International, The Economist, the Financial Times, The Guardian, Monocle Radio, Nikkei Asia, the South China Morning Post and more.

I was a fact-checking journalist at Agence France-Presse’s Jakarta bureau. I’ve also traveled on assignment to China, Uzbekistan, Timor-Leste, Georgia, Malaysia, Thailand, New Zealand and India. I’m particularly interested in feature writing, with a soft spot for human stories that intersect politics and identity.

I started writing for the media in 2012, first contributing book reviews to Indonesian newspapers.
