What I'm looking for

I’m looking for work that is structured, systems-driven, and organizational and/or systematic in nature. I prefer to have work that is largely routined and methodical, with some creative freedom when necessary.

I co-founded and operate Sarabi Media, a visual storytelling agency serving luxury safari properties across Kenya and East Africa. I manage partnerships from pitch through delivery while producing photography, short-form video, and social content.

I’ve negotiated service agreements with Enkewa Camp, Cottar's 1920s Camp, and Collection in the Wild, structuring deliverables, pricing, and reimbursement terms. I also built Sarabi Media’s Google Sheets financial system, including double-entry bookkeeping, receivables, payables, P&L, balance sheet, and asset tracking.

My work spans creative production, editorial storytelling, and brand communications. At Segera Retreat and the ZEITZ foundation, I led writing and editing for an internal publication, developed copy for sales and PR materials, and grew LinkedIn through strategic messaging and original wildlife photography.

I’ve also supported digital creators and marketing teams through photo and video production, YouTube editing, copywriting, HubSpot data operations, Zapier automations, SEO content, and editorial leadership at Birding Space. I bring a conservation-aware, audience-focused approach to stories that need both creative quality and operational follow-through.
