Freelance journalist : India | Malaysia

About

In an earlier life, I worked as a qualitative researcher and ethnographer for nearly 15 years, and those research training and interviewing skills now serve me well as a journalist.

Over the years, I have also been a blogger for The New York Times, a columnist for the South China Morning Post, a TedX speaker, and an author. And oh, about that last thing – one of the reviews for my book, Everything you wanted to know about freelance journalism (but didn’t know whom to ask), called it “a bible for freelance writers everywhere.”

I have a Bachelor’s degree with a University rank in Economics and postgraduate degrees from MICA (Marketing Communications) and the LSE (Social Research and Social Psychology).

However, I have not let any of this interfere with my education. Mark Twain would approve.
