Her photographic work documenting the rise of Boko Haram terrorism between 2014 and 2020 in Northeast Nigeria highlighted the link between radicalisation and the mediatisation of the aftermath of conflict.

Currently, she is pursuing a PhD at Cardiff University on the intersection of visual culture and human rights advocacy.
