I'm a journalist.

Loaded opening line right? Don't worry I wont interrogate you unnecessarily.

I currently work as a community journalist, where one is required to embody the definition of a dynamic writer.

From the cricket crease, to the airstrip where pilots start their engines, filling the air with fumes before they marvle audiences with air flips, to council sittings where the city's future is discussed, to the door step of a renowned traditional healer, you will find me clutching my pen in one hand, my notebook in the other and my camera dangling around my neck, feet pacing, chasing the scoop.

​

I dabble in both print and broadcasting. Recently found my way back to the airwaves conducting interviews with locals in Germiston to be aired on Caxton Radio. 

I create multimedia content to accompany written works, thus telling the story in scripture and visuals.

I write to effect change in my community, uncover gems hidden among us by telling their stories and hopefully get the attention of those in power when telling stories of the marginalised.
