About Me 

 I am a freelance journalist from Slovakia based in Bangkok since September 2010. As a former Slovak Radio Southeast Asia correspondent, I have focused my work on human rights, environment, sustainable development and in recent years also LGBT and women’s rights. My coverage in Africa included female genital mutilation and indigenous people.

Currently, I write for Asian Correspondent and an array of Slovak and international media titles. I have co-founded and am the editor of Hummingbird Media – web media for alternative journalism focused mainly on Global South. 

​

As a Master student  of international relations at Faculty of Political Science at Thammasat University, I have participated in several academic research projects in Thailand and Cambodia.

​

My most recent work has extended beyond journalism into cooperation with NGOs, creating content for campaigns and publications on sustainable production and consumption in garment industry and beyond, as well as giving lectures on various topics of global learning.  As of September 2015, I am one of the associates at Asia Centre: Connecting peoples and regions, a civil society hub in Bangkok.
