I'm a journalist from Kigali, Rwanda with over four years of experience covering stories across East Africa, the Middle East and the United States. I studied journalism at Northwestern University in Qatar, where I spent eight years living in Doha. At Doha News, I covered the 2022 FIFA World Cup, documenting the exploitation of African migrant workers who built the stadiums and later faced wage theft, abuse and deportation. At Al Jazeera English's The Stream, I pitched and produced digital and TV episodes on Israel's war on Gaza, U.S. elections and U.S. foreign policy.
In 2026, I returned home to report from Rwanda as a freelancer for The Associated Press, covering breaking news and in-depth feature stories across Rwanda and the wider East African region. My reporting was re-published by The Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times and The Boston Globe.
I'm now a Master of Journalism candidate at UC Berkeley, where, among other things, I report on community & social justice issues for Richmond Confidential. I'm also a student researcher currently conducting open-source investigations into Sudan's war with Berkeley's Human Rights Center's Investigations Lab, in partnership with Amnesty International.
I speak four languages(Kinyarwanda, English, French and Swahili).
