I was the Israeli correspondence for the Dutch VPRO channel for 8 years (2008-2016), directing and producing dozens of reports. I’ve directed and produced reports for many outlets including other TV channels in Israel and human rights organizations such as Amnesty International.
My English is excellent, I speak fluent Spanish and decent French (and obviously Hebrew).
