Request QuoteA multi-skilled television documentary producer and video journalist, I work for a non-profit news agency that's dedicated to covering health news in South Africa. My work takes me all over the country, where I cover health stories of every day South Africans, the challenges they face and the rights they have to improved healthcare. I've covered a wide range of stories, from HIV to tuberculosis, cancers and mental health, and have done so with sensitivity and care. I pride myself on excellent research and humanising stories through strong case studies. Several of my documentaries have won national awards, including Vodacom Journalist of the Year and Discovery Young Health Journalist of the Year.
