At Radio One FM 90, I hosted an interactive talk show six days a week, reaching over 800,000 listeners. I introduced guest debates on topical issues that grew listener call-ins by 200%.

I also built sponsor relationships that generated $2,500 in new sponsorship revenue within six weeks. I researched and fact-checked daily news stories, interviewed guests, and hosted Breakfast and Drive shows.

As a freelance voice-over artist, I record commercial and animation voice-overs for studios, agencies, and brands. I’ve also hosted broadcasts at Sanyu FM and presented the Breakfast Show at Next Radio 106.1FM.
