What I'm looking for

I seek an entry-level role in TV, radio, or digital production where I can apply documentary storytelling, camera and sound skills, and grow within a collaborative, ethical newsroom.

I am a graduate journalist with a Bachelor of Technology in Journalism & Mass Communication from the Technical University of Kenya, focused on producing ethical, informative, and family-friendly content. I bring hands-on experience in TV, radio, and digital production from academic and independent projects.

I have practical skills in camera and sound operations, conducting interviews, script development, and editing video and audio using Adobe Premiere Pro. I have contributed to documentaries and feature stories, ensuring accuracy, balance, and clarity in storytelling.

I work well in teams, prioritize integrity and accountability, and am eager to contribute to television, radio, and digital productions that educate and positively impact communities.
