Her work included reporting and writing stories for the website and producing news packages for TV. But most of her time was spent working as a producer for Mediadante on long-form documentaries in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Since 2015, she has covered Afghanistan and Pakistan extensively for Al Jazeera English online. She has also embedded with the Taliban in Afghanistan and has had exclusive access to them in Qatar with the result that Al Jazeera online is always among the first in reporting about issues related to them. She has also covered poverty, lack of education and other human interest stories from the country.
