About

I am a multilingual award-winning journalist with experience of working in Africa, the Middle East and Europe covering both foreign and domestic news for television, radio and online media.

I have loved working on multiple television and radio documentaries as both producer and reporter.

With twelve years experience working as a foreign news producer at the BBC and other news organisations, I am a multi-skilled and dynamic journalist, quick to adapt and tenacious.

I’ve spent the last three years working in West Africa, initially as the BBC’s bilingual Francophone Africa producer and then for the last two years in Nigeria covering all of West Africa for tv, radio and online news.

My career began in the BBC’s Paris bureau, but I’ve also worked extensively in Germany and then Brussels. I was awarded a George Weidenfeld Fellowship to work at Deutsche Welle in Bonn.

I have worked for the BBC’s Foreign Desk, as well as for World Service flagship news programme Newshour and World Update.

Freelancing in Tunisia and around Europe, my work was published by Deutsche Welle, Monocle, Exaro News, The Telegraph and The Independent.

More recently I have worked as a television producer for the BBC’s Focus on Africa Television, and as launch producer for the new BBC Somali television news bulletin.

In 2017 I was awarded a European Journalism Fellowship to carry out research into the integration of refugees in Germany, focusing on whether there could be a ‘refugee remedy’ to help slow the economic impact of the country’s ageing population.
