Multimedia journalist and editor with strong reporting and writing skills.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated multimedia journalist and editor with a Bachelor’s Degree in Journalism from the Institute Catholique De Kabgayi. My journey in the media industry began at Label TV and Radio in Gabon, where I honed my skills as an English journalist and co-presenter. I thrive in dynamic environments and have a passion for storytelling through various media formats.
Throughout my career, I have gained valuable experience working in diverse roles, from being a journalism intern at Zerxa Incorporated to managing social media and content creation for Ikaze Rwanda Tours and Travels. My proficiency in both English and French, along with my ability to adapt quickly, has allowed me to contribute effectively in various capacities, including teaching and translation.
As I look to the future, I am eager to leverage my skills in a newsroom setting, where I can contribute to impactful journalism and engage audiences through innovative multimedia storytelling.
