Sonia, we’re so happy we were able to help you with your fellowship! You’re a gem and will have exciting things ahead of you in 2025!
I've just wrapped up my internship in Nairobi, Kenya with Reuters News Agency. Over three months, I wrote and reported stories for the wire on the impeachment of Kenya's deputy president, deteriorating Somalia-Ethiopia relations, Somaliland's elections and more. I pitched several features, including one that allowed me to travel to the coast and interview Kenyan villagers who have turned to seaweed farming as climate change has decimated other industries. I contributed reporting to big breaking news on the killing of Ugandan Olympian runner Rebecca Cheptegei, the Adani Group's presence in Kenya, a suicide bombing in Mogadishu and more. I've learned a lot, and am so grateful to the OVERSEAS PRESS CLUB FOUNDATION and everyone in the Reuters Nairobi bureau for helping to make this happen! Hiring managers, I'll be looking for jobs and early-career fellowship opportunities in the new year.
