2 reviewsWith over fifteen years of experience in the broadcast industry as a radio sports editor, reporter, producer, and anchor, as well as TV sports news anchor and reporter I have developed a deep understanding of the media industry. I have worked with some of the biggest organizations on the African continent, including FIFA and the Confederation for African Football (CAF), where I served as the MC/announcer for the 2010 World Cup and the 2014 African Championship.
In addition, I had the privilege of covering the 2015 Super Rugby final for Media Works network in New Zealand on radio and social media. As a sports editor for the radio stations I have worked at, I have been responsible for content production, creation, and curation.
