What I'm looking for

I’m looking to grow as a journalist and documentary storyteller—leading projects that highlight social issues, amplify community voices, and deliver impactful editorial and multimedia content. I want a team that values collaboration, mentorship, and strong storytelling.

I’m a motivated Journalism and Mass Communication professional with strong leadership experience across academic and media environments. I founded the Kibabii University Documentary Club and have continued as a student leader representing the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, building impact through storytelling, documentary production, editorial design, and multimedia communication.

I focus on highlighting social issues, amplifying community voices, and producing media content that informs, educates, and inspires. As an Editor & Designer for The BIG TABLE (De-Extramile Media) and through multiple documentary and editorial roles, I bring anchoring, reporting, strategic communication, public speaking, and project coordination to every assignment.
