02 / The person behind the work
Creative by nature.
Purpose-led by choice.
I believe film and media can do more than entertain. They can preserve experiences, amplify voices and help communities see themselves differently.
My experience across film and television has taken me through directing, screenwriting, assistant direction, production management, sound and editing. I enjoy bringing people together around a story and helping carry it from an early idea to the screen.
I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Arts Honours in Media and Journalism at Africa University in Zimbabwe, building on practical training in documentary filmmaking, series direction, screenwriting and sound design in Rwanda.
Alongside production, I mentor emerging storytellers and lead media and content initiatives. I am especially interested in stories that support social change, youth empowerment and community engagement.
