What I'm looking for

I am looking for media roles combining on-air hosting, audio-visual production, and equipment maintenance in a creative, growth-oriented organization.

I am a multimedia journalist and audio-visual technician with a degree in Management Computing and progressive experience in radio hosting, website development, and event MCing. Since 2019 I began in media through an internship and have grown into roles as a journalist, host, and equipment maintenance officer.

I have completed multiple professional trainings in sound, post-production, communication, digital marketing, color grading, and photography organized by PASAAC Burundi, and I developed technical proficiency with tools such as Adobe Creative Cloud, DaVinci Resolve, Cubase, Logic Pro, and N8N. I also contributed to the development and creation of a media website and managed social media for artists.

I seek to bring strong content-production, technical maintenance, and on-air presentation skills to a dynamic media or cultural organization, delivering polished audio-visual work and reliable equipment support while continuing to grow in digital media and communications.
