Video Explainer: What is the International Finance Corporation (IFC)?

I have a strong track record of audience engagement, with packages of mine attracting more than 200,000 views on YouTube and over 1,000,000 views across social-media channels.

Terrorism Attack in Kenya

After a devastating terrorist attack on a bus in northern Kenya, I traveled to the location on the fragile border with Somalia the same day. In a tense situation with a community still in shock, I gained the trust of local residents, obtained access to security personnel and received permission to view the scene of the attack. I edited the story locally and transmitted it on-time despite very limited connectivity and resources on location.
