About me
For over a decade, I’ve been where the story unfolds—asking the right questions, leading newsrooms and bringing public-interest stories to light.
My career spans print, digital and electronic media, with deep experience in political, administrative and field reporting. From a reporter on the ground to one of the youngest State Heads in a news organisation, my focus has remained unchanged: accurate, timely and impactful journalism.
“Credibility is earned in every story, every source and every deadline.”
