I worked as a reporter and sub-editor at Civil Society Magazine. I reported extensively on education, gender, labour and businesses. Reporting across beats allowed me to make connections across domains and report with a broader perspective.
​
Civil Society was launched in 2003 to tell stories of changemakers who shape the country in small but significant ways.
​
Here are some stories I’m really proud of:

​
