For over 12 years I have been telling stories through radio, online and print to bring about positive social change. With over 12 years communications experience, I’ve conceived and managed radio drama series, reported from African countries in the midst of civil war, including Sierra Leone, Burundi and Liberia, and Nigeria, where I traveled alone to produce a radio documentary series for the BBC World Service. I've worked as a writer, an editor, a radio producer, a communications manager and researcher and a web editor. I am now the web content manager at IIED, communicating online about our work.
