Reema is a freelance academic and creative with an excellent cross-disciplinary track record contributing to media, academia and diverse societies. Her focus as a journalist and editor is music, visual art and technology.

The London-born professional started her journalism career with Rolling Stone Magazine in 2007 and went on to join the MOBO Awards in 2010 as co-editor/head of digital for two years. During her tenure, she relaunched MOBO TV, was part of the core production team for the annual Awards alongside the BBC and was the main features writer. She started a visual arts segment, the popular 'One To Watch' segment and conducted in-depth written Q&A pieces, being granted exclusives from the likes of polymath Nitin Sawhney and The Fugees founder Pras Michel. She has covered major festivals/events such as Global Gathering and Africa Express and has had the pleasure of writing about bodies of work such as Terry Riley's In C. 

Since 2010 Reema has been instrumental with Sofar Sounds, as a core advisor to the founders and executive producer across Asia and Central America, taking Sofar to both regions for the first time. Here is a recent interview with her talking about the recent global Give A Home concert series in collaboration with Amnesty International. Reema has been recognised for her humanitarian work through track ii diplomacy and in 2011 was the recipient of the Peace Award from the university founded by Mahatama Gandhi. 

As an academic, Reema has contributed to the world's leading think tanks including the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) and has done advisory work for United Nations' consultative agencies. Since 2011, she is a Visiting Fellow at UCL's Institute for Strategy, Resilience and Security (ISRS). She has extensive experience in research, analysis and strategy with focus areas including climate resilience, cyber environments and space security. In 2012 she co-founded The Pericles Foundation, a registered charity in the UK, the Netherlands and the USA, devoted to producing high-quality non-fiction books across disciplines. Their first publication is Breakthrough: From Innovation to Impact.
 
Reema's dynamic professional life has seen her liaise with Heads of State to Grammy Award-winning artists. She has a deep reverence for the Arts stemming from her mother’s work as a prolific creative in music and fashion; and growing up around her mother's music videos for the likes of The Cure, Depeche Mode and George Clinton. Whether backstage at a Fashion Week, writing research on AI or ensconced on the side of the stage at a Drum & Bass gig, subculture fascinates Reema. A conversation with Michael Jackson, Punks, Jean-Michel Jarre's compositions and the stunning Blade Runner "Tears in Rain" monologue to Vangelis' score catalysed her curiosity as a child, which continues to permeate her world today as an adult.
