Background

About Odom Rithy

I began my career as a journalist, crafting stories about LGBT+ issues, underprivileged children, the Tonle Sap Lake, men's mental health and urban heat islands for outlets like Southeast Asia Globe, DowntownDevil and Voice of America. This journey made me the only young Asian journalist at the World Conference on Science Journalism in San Francisco, where environmental science journalists and PR professionals inspired me. For over five years, I've channeled my passion for storytelling into areas like the environment, water and sanitation, healthcare, insurance and accessible real estate. Today, I provide my expertise to businesses, NGOs, government organizations, civil society, start-ups and communities, helping them design tools, using human-centered approach and tell their stories to make a positive impact.
