I've also reported and edited business, finance, and policy coverage for Ethiopian Business Review and Fortune Newspaper, publishing 50+ features across major Ethiopian outlets. I bring rigorous fact verification, source validation, financial reasoning, and editorial QA to AI and LLM evaluation, especially for finance and emerging-market contexts.
