Freelance journalist
Romania
I've been working in the media and in media-related fields for almost 10 years. I covered local news, I coordinated training programs for journalists and I helped a UN agency communicate its mandate better. Now I work as a freelance journalist, pioneering, along few other journalists, in a field unknown to the Romanian media: narrative journalism.
