Experienced journalist specializing in broadcast TV and digital media.
What I'm looking for
I am a seasoned journalist with over 20 years of experience in professional broadcast TV production and digital media. My expertise lies in news and feature storytelling, with strong skills in scriptwriting, videography, and editing. I am passionate about creating content that empowers women, which I pursue through my company, She Can Drive Kenya Ltd. I thrive in environments that promote gender equality and am eager to collaborate with reputable organizations that share this vision.
Currently, I work as a journalist for African Stream, where I am responsible for news-gathering, scriptwriting, and producing engaging video content that has garnered over 20 million views monthly. My previous role as a cameraman at CGTN Africa allowed me to hone my technical skills in operating studio cameras and filming news stories in the field. I have successfully led initiatives that significantly increased audience engagement, including growing African Stream's YouTube channel by 100K subscribers in just one month.
My educational background includes a film-making masterclass at the Berlinale Talent Campus and an Advanced Diploma in Professional Broadcast Television Production. I have received multiple awards for my innovative contributions to media and storytelling, including 'Innovator of the Year' for She Can Drive Kenya Ltd.
