What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a media role where I can lead field reporting and multimedia production—partnering with a team that values disciplined execution, investigative storytelling, and strong digital delivery using video, editing, and social media.

I’m a strategic Communication & Media specialist with over 6 years of expertise in Journalism, Multimedia Production, and Digital Freelancing. I’ve built my impact through field reporting, news anchoring, interviewing, and investigative storytelling—bringing stories to life with clarity and speed.

As a News Correspondent for Tuko Media, I produced high-impact feature and human-interest stories while managing high-risk coverage with adaptability. I also served as a Film Editor at KICD, capturing high-definition footage and streamlining editing workflows to deliver broadcast-ready studio content.

I bring a creative, high-performance edge to every project, from professional video shooting and film editing in Adobe Premiere to photography, graphic design, and social media management. Beyond media, I translate and transcribe (English/Swahili), lead worship sets as a Worship Minister, and run canine behavioural training—because I value discipline, accuracy, and measurable results.
