Her absence from the media scene began in October 2019 when she left her role at the Mediamax Limited-owned station, K24 TV.

During her hiatus, she embarked on new endeavors, including a role at TV47, where she was set to read news bulletins on Fridays and Saturdays as part of the program ‘TV47 Wikendi.’

Speaking about this role four months ago, she took to her Instagram account, where she expressed her gratitude for the opportunity.

She stated, “Back to my God-given gift and purpose. #NewsHosting and Presentation… I take this opportunity to first thank God for giving me this chance to officially join @tv47ke… #Tv47Wikend with all of you, my dear fans… Sincere thanks to the entire team for the warm welcome… To all my viewers, welcome to Tv47 Wikendi every Friday and Saturday… with my co-host.”

Her extensive experience in the media industry, coupled with her new role in government communication, is expected to bring a fresh perspective to the way government messages are conveyed to the people.
