What I'm looking for

I’m looking to continue reporting and communicating impactful stories on gender, mental health, minorities, climate change, innovation, AI, and health, while using multimedia journalism, counselling, and partnerships to support communities.

I am also looking to share my expertise in programs, administration, and project management.

At Minority Africa and Solutions Now Africa, I report on gender, mental health, minorities, climate change, innovation, AI, and health through data-driven multimedia journalism. I’ve produced more than 50 multimedia stories and edited and produced over 15 short and long documentary videos.

I’m an award-winning photojournalist, podcaster, videographer, photographer, writer, and editor—often a one-woman army journalist. My reporting includes sourcing and interviewing policy players, government technocrats, community leaders, and other story sources.

Beyond the newsroom, I’ve led communications, programs, and partnerships for Rise Up Uganda, Arms Around Africa Foundation, and Health Youth Lifestyle Options. I developed projects including Mobile Happy Children Center, African Girl Forward, and CAODA, training over 1,000 students and supporting children, women, and families affected by addiction.

I also bring counselling, literature, communications strategy, social media management, fundraising, stakeholder engagement, and journalism training experience, including training more than 200 students in journalism skills.
