I’ve been interested in current affairs since I was a little girl, so I started my career with a degree in journalism and communications at Makerere University in Kampala.
During that time I participated in a media challenge between universities across Kampala and won the award for best news presenter. Since then I have worked with Radio City 97FM and Record TV, Uganda. I am currently working with NTV Uganda, one of the leading television stations in the country.
In my quest for global exposure and experience, I had the opportunity to visit South Africa in 2016, where I spoke about the political climate in Uganda. In May 2019, I was selected to attend a media conference in Berlin, Germany. At the conference, I networked with influential journalists from around the world and was able to learn about current best practices as well as cutting-edge methods in journalism. Both opportunities have placed me better at dealing with stories of human interest, which often have a lot to do with the environment.
Here in Uganda we feel the impact of climate change every day. Floods, unpredictable weather or drought are becoming the norm, and I think it is my job as a journalist to report on that. And that’s why I want to be a member of the Eco Africa team, because the show offers solutions to so many problems.
NTV Uganda is a partner of DW.
