About

I’m an international sports broadcaster and host with experience covering major global tournaments including the Cricket World Cup, the Africa Cup of Nations, and the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup.

I’m passionate about meaningful sports coverage, global opportunities, and building platforms that connect athletes, fans and brands across borders. Interests: broadcasting roles, sports media partnerships, event hosting, women’s sports projects, and international collaborations. 📩 Open to conversations and opportunities.
