At Big Si(s)ter Foundation KE, I create the organization’s brand identity and awareness, develop communication channels to source sponsors, and engage stakeholders. I also organized the NGO’s first charity and activation tour across three venues.

At FAMILYNEWS.TODAY, I helped create the platform and brand as part of its pioneer team. I created and segmented website content, wrote news articles, managed the YouTube channel, and contributed to reaching 15K new user subscriptions and 3.5K daily users.

At FAMILY MEDIA, I produced TV and radio programs, researched and booked guests, and edited and scripted shows. I was promoted to Team Lead within four months, and new interactive shows I launched led to 17% audience engagement.

At SHINE FM, I led the Friday News Team, supervising 10 people, and hosted a three-hour live radio drive program. I also worked as an intern at FAMILY MEDIA, producing a weekly testimonial feature and supporting studio productions.
