What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to grow as a journalist and storyteller, ideally in a dynamic and creative environment.

I am a dedicated multimedia journalist currently working for Daily Sun, where I have honed my skills in writing engaging entertainment stories for both online and print. My experience extends to managing social media platforms, ensuring that our content reaches a wider audience effectively. I am passionate about storytelling and strive to create compelling narratives that resonate with readers.

In addition to my role at Daily Sun, I have had the honor of serving as a judge for prestigious awards such as the Golden Globe Awards and the South African Music Awards. My commitment to excellence in journalism was recognized when I was nominated for Best Entertainment Journalist at the Basadi In Music Awards in 2023. I hold a BTech in Journalism from Tshwane University of Technology, where I also completed my National Diploma in Journalism.
