My journey as a scholar and writer has always revolved around a fundamental question: what does it mean to be human? Long before my work in film and academia, I explored this theme in my undergraduate dissertation on Henrik Ibsen, analyzing the concept of self-realization in his plays. That early curiosity set the foundation for what became a lifelong inquiry—one that continues through my books, research, and creative practice.
My PhD in psychoanalysis and film focused on the relationship between the filmmaker and their subject, a theme that extends across my published works. From interrogating ethics in documentary filmmaking to exploring postcolonial narratives, my books engage with the complexities of power, identity, and creative expression.
With my life coaching, I apply exactly the same principles: what steps do you need to take to discover your life purpose? Whether through writing, filmmaking, or mentorship, my work is about helping people uncover deeper truths—about themselves, their stories, and the world around them.
Each book is part of an evolving conversation—one that bridges theory and practice, film and psychoanalysis, history and contemporary storytelling. The search for answers never truly ends, but through writing, I continue to ask the questions that have shaped my thinking for decades.
