What I'm looking for

I am seeking freelance or editorial roles where I can write and edit news and lifestyle content, lead digital storytelling, and grow readership.

I am an experienced journalist and freelance writer with a strong background in news and lifestyle writing. I have worked across online newsrooms and independent publishing, producing timely, audience-focused content.

As C.E.O. of The Kaiti News and a self-employed journalist since 2020, I have led editorial direction, managed content workflows, and delivered stories under deadline pressure. I also served as Online News Editor at The Ilima News and worked as a freelance editor and writer for varied assignments.

I hold a Bachelor of Science with Education in Biology and Chemistry from Karatina University, which complements my analytical approach to reporting and research. My top skills include lifestyle writing and news writing, and I actively seek freelance opportunities to expand my portfolio.

I bring dedication, editorial judgment, and a clear voice to each project, and I welcome roles where I can produce impactful journalism, mentor contributors, and grow readership for digital publications.
