I am a journalist, researcher and documentary filmmaker from Kenya. My work focuses on biodiversity, conservation and resource extraction. 

My articles and films have been published in Al Jazeera, the Jacobin, CBC Documentaries, Africa is a Country, The New Humanitarian, Project Syndicate and others. I have reported and/or produced films from the DRC, Congo-Brazzaville, Libya, the West Bank, Tanzania, Kenya, Burkina Faso.  My work has ranged from investigating extrajudicial killings around gold mines in Tanzania, the militarization of UN peacekeeping in the DRC and the detention of African migrants in Libya, to looking into a Gates-funded project on genetically modified mosquitoes in Burkina Faso and conservation in Kenya and the Congo Basin.  

Previously, I worked for The New Humanitarian as a reporter and producer, and for the ETC Group, an organization that monitors the impact of emerging technologies and corporate strategies on biodiversity, agriculture and human rights. I served on the juries for the Canadian Screen Awards, the Festival du Nouveau Cinéma, and Longue Vue sur le court, and I am on the board of the Global Justice Ecology Project.

I am a PhD candidate in Human Geography at the University of Toronto. My research looks at violence, conservation and forest geographies in the Congo Basin. I am also working on a feature film about conservation.
