Hi, I’m Anjula Ram. My professional experience has taken me through community services and public safety, entertainment and communications, film, journalism and independent media. I value being able to bring what I’ve learned across different environments and apply it to interesting new subjects, challenges and opportunities.

At the heart of how I work is a combination of real-world curiosity, discernment and practical initiative. I work to understand people and situations, see both the detail and the bigger picture, recognise what matters or what is needed, and work out how something can be shaped or moved forward. I thrive where there is room for both intelligent thought and productive action.

Much of my more recent work has been in journalistic filmmaking. I’ve conducted in-depth interviews with people from widely different backgrounds, produced short journalistic pieces, and conceived, researched and independently produced a documentary involving more than 40 contributors across the United States, United Kingdom and India.

Earlier roles in community, communications and organizational settings drew on a different side of the same capability: understanding what was happening, working with people, coordinating activity, improving situations and helping to move things towards a desired outcome.

On a more personal note, I’m of Indian and African heritage, was raised in the UK and have spent much of my adult life in the United States. Now in my forties, I value the wisdom that comes with experience, the power of being present, and the joy of working collaboratively towards a common goal.

I hold an MA in Journalism and a BA in Psychology & Criminology. My additional professional training includes Brand Management, Public Relations and Media Arts Producing.
