About

I'm thrilled to announce my passion for journalism and my readiness to dive into the dynamic world of your news team or your media organisation. As a professional journalist with a strong foundation in mass communications, online and print media, I've gained practical experience and unwavering commitment to ethical reporting standards. My educational journey beginning from Birnam Business College to the esteemed University of South Africa (Unisa) has provided me with an in-depth understanding of the media industry.

From being a Junior Journalist at the Caxton Urban Newspapers in Soweto and moving on to Soweto Times and Eldorado Times and the The Citizen newspapers, I've actively engaged in news coverage, online publishing, and analytics monitoring. My journey also includes experience as a Senior Journalist for the North Eastern Tribune newspaper which is part of the Caxton Group in the north of Johannesburg, Craighall and later a Fixer and Freelance Journalist for the international acclaimed The New York Times, I have had an opportunity of honing my organisational and communication skills. Moreover, my new gathering and reporting skills.

I'm a versatile journalist open to any opportunity in the media industry. My ability to identify unique and compelling stories, coupled with my knowledge of global issues and newsroom production systems, positions me as a valuable asset for any media organisation. My passion for news knows no bounds, and I'm excited to be part of the ever-evolving world of media.
