About me

I am a young broadcast journalist, a confident and charismatic presenter, and reporter. I've used my platforms to give underrepresented groups a voice and shed light on ignored issues as I believe we are all leaders. We possess the power to have an impact on our communities and beyond thanks to this modern interconnected world. I am a firm believer in how transparency and authenticity can impact and inspire others to tap into their power and potential.
