What I'm looking for

I seek senior editorial or reporting roles at organisations valuing ethical journalism, mentorship, investigative work, and clear editorial standards.

I am a goal-driven journalist with over 20 years of experience across print and broadcast media, having covered national and regional issues for both local and international outlets. I specialize in news gathering, investigative reporting, editing and page layout, and have a strong record of producing accurate, well-researched stories under deadline.

I have led and supervised editorial teams, developed editorial visions and newspaper branding, and packaged content for radio and digital platforms. I bring proven leadership, strong editorial judgment, meticulous attention to detail, and a commitment to ethical journalism.
