What I do

  • Editorial training and newsroom support
  • Video journalism and explainers
  • On-camera reporting and presenting

I am a South African journalist and video producer working across Africa, Europe and the UK. My work focuses on explaining complex issues clearly and responsibly, particularly stories from the Global South that matter to international audiences.

I have worked across radio, digital and television, and have produced reporting and video packages for international and local news organisations. I am particularly interested in formats that help audiences understand the why behind the news, not just the headlines.

Selected work

I have produced reporting, video packages and explainers for organisations including:

  • Viory
  • MailOnline
  • TimesLIVE
  • Sunday Times group
