I work with organizations such as the U.N., the U.S. State Department and international media development and press freedom organizations to support professional and independent media. I specialize in working with media in conflict-affected and transitional environments.

 

I recently finished an evaluation of a media assistance programme in Ethiopia and will be in Liberia to do more M&E work. Earlier this year, I was the lead researcher for a CDAC Network study on understanding how Covid-19 has changed the landscape of communication, information and inclusion in disaster-affected countries.

 

I am thrilled to be joining Regis University as affiliate faculty for the Master in Development Practice and will be developing and co-teaching a course on media development.

​

With over twenty years of experience as a journalist, journalism educator, media development practitioner and researcher, I look forward to working with you to provide results-oriented services including assessments, formulations and evaluations. 

​

Some of my recent assignments have included:

• Learning review of the CCEA response six months after the Haiti earthquake.

• Evaluation of EU-funded multi-country (sub-Saharan Africa) Covid response media support program.
