I'm a communications and digital media professional with strong experience in content management, editorial strategy, and audience-focused storytelling across multiple African markets. My career foundation was built through my work with Opera News and THEWILL, where I handled CMS operations, editorial publishing workflows, and content optimisation for diverse audiences in Zambia, Malawi, Liberia, Sierra Leone, South Sudan and the English-speaking part of Cameroon — giving me a rare multi-country perspective on African digital audiences.
Beyond newsroom operations, I have carved a growing reputation as a moderator, communications strategist and culture-focused storyteller. I have curated and moderated events centred on creativity, culture and the pulse of digital storytelling, driving conversations on how data, media and narrative shape public engagement in the digital age. My work consistently bridges journalism, digital culture and strategic communication, with a special strength in crafting stories that connect people, identity and platforms.More...
