For over a decade, I've had the privilege of shaping public discourse through impactful journalism. My career began by conducting extensive research and producing data-driven analyses for publications covering African markets.

In 2016, I stepped into my first journalism role as Research Editor, where I thoroughly examined primary sources to craft compelling narratives exploring complex policy issues. Leaders recognized the insightful perspective I brought, prompting a promotion to Editor-in-Chief a year later. I then served as the Editor-in-Chief of Addis Fortune for another one year until end of 2017. 

As head of Ethiopia's highest circulated business magazine, Ethiopian Business Review, I led all editorial functions from 2018 to 2020. Under my guidance, the publication broke impactful stories and published many deep dives. It was tremendously rewarding to see our work thoughtfully inform discussions.

Eager to expand my experience, I next served as Co-Producer of a show called EthioBusiness at EBS Television- Ethiopia's most popular brodcaster. In this role, I set the strategic direction and oversaw production of their esteemed journalism.

Most recently, I've had the honor of serving as Editor-in-Chief at The Reporter Ethiopia - an influential independent newspaper, between 2021 and 2023. Here, I've worked to strengthen our impact through compelling narratives and investigative pieces addressing society's most pressing challenges.

Throughout my career, mentoring teams to achieve their full potential has brought me great satisfaction. Leaders consistently note my creative abilities to craft engaging explorations of complex topics and drive organizational goals. After over a decade innovating across various editorial roles, I'm passionate about continuing to use journalism as a catalyst for positive change.
