What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my communication skills to create impactful narratives and engage communities, while also fostering a collaborative and mission-driven work environment.

I am a communication professional with over 8 years of experience in journalism, strategic communication, and nonprofit outreach. My journey has been marked by a commitment to storytelling and digital content creation that resonates with audiences and drives engagement. I have a strong background in anchoring news for both TV and radio, where I have honed my skills in scripting and presenting programs that highlight the voices of vulnerable communities.

My work as a Country Consultant for ACCEL-Africa with the International Labour Organization allowed me to delve into critical issues such as child labor in Kenya’s tea industry. I collaborated with NGOs and government agencies to evaluate interventions and inform policy, showcasing my ability to engage stakeholders effectively. Additionally, my volunteer role as a Communications Associate at Roots and Wings-RDO has further solidified my expertise in content creation and digital outreach, aligning my efforts with the mission of serving underprivileged communities through impactful communication.
