About

A British-Ugandan, French-speaking multimedia journalist, I bring over 15 years of experience reporting both breaking news and in-depth features across Africa and beyond.I am equally at ease producing for web, TV or radio, in both English and French. I thrive on crafting a story from pitch to final edit — with a deep respect for accuracy, nuance and the people behind the headlines.My multicultural background and sharp listening skills allow me to connect authentically with a wide range of sources — from heads of state to grassroots voices. My work often highlights underreported issues through compelling human-interest storytelling.I specialize in geopolitics, development, climate, and conflict-related coverage. My assignments have taken me to conflict zones, rural villages and presidential palaces — always with the same commitment: to inform with clarity and empathy.When I’m not out reporting, you’ll find me in RFI’s studios in Paris, moderating high-level panels or occasionally singing my heart out on stage.I’m also a thoughtful editor and mentor, passionate about helping younger journalists grow.Topics of interest: Development, climate change, conflict, religion, corruption, media freedom, gender and cultural heritage
