Her Career in Broadcasting has been rewarding on many levels. Starting out in Radio at the age of 19 at Kenya’s Capital FM Station gave me an edge over most people my age as well as allowed me to gradually gain confidence and credibility in my chosen field of Media.
Over the years she covered notable events like the 2013 Memorial Service for Former South African President Nelson Mandela, the 2007 and 2013 National Elections in Kenya, the 2012 Presidential Elections in the U.S.A. and the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

She has also interviewed high profile individuals across Africa and further afield, including the U.S.A.and Brazil. In 2012 she was honored to Co-Host a live televised award show honoring African Leaders and later in 2013 she hosted a series of interviews for the African Union (AU) and Organization of African Unity (OAU) 50th Anniversary commemoration event organized by MultiChoice South Africa, in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Beyond Broadcasting, I am the Founder and Director of Media Avenue Limited, where I provide services which include Public Speaking, Moderating & Emceeing. In addition I work to empower and mentor young people particularly girls in Kenya through Inua Dada Foundation which I founded in 2013.
Endorsed by the First Lady Of Kenya Her Excellency Margaret Kenyatta, Inua Dada Foundation envisions a Global Community that empowers and protects the rights of every Girl Child.
In 2014, she decided to try my hand at acting when she was approached to audition for a lead role in the Kenyan Drama Series, RUSH.
