What I'm looking for

I'm looking for opportunities in journalism and media communication where I can report meaningful stories, create digital and broadcast content, strengthen my multimedia skills, and contribute to audience engagement.

I've reported on local current affairs, community issues, and cultural events with Vision Group and Next Media Services in Kampala, publishing over 12 news items. I also support broadcast scripting, short-form video editing, and live-event social media coverage that increased real-time engagement by 25%.

I'm completing a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism and Mass Communication at Uganda Christian University, with training in media law and ethics, multimedia storytelling, development communication, and broadcast journalism. I bring investigative reporting, interviewing, AP style, digital publishing, and multimedia production to deadline-driven newsroom work.
