About ME
I am currently a television Correspondent based at the UN in NYC.
​
I have over five years’ experience in management and close to a decade in the TV production space. I am a media specialist with over 15 years work experience in various facets of the newsroom, having worked across various media platforms, radio and television.
During my time I have worked for local radio and television stations in South Africa and launched a 24-hour news station in Nigeria, where I eventually became the Southern Africa correspondent and Africa editor.
The last 5-years, I have spent in various senior positions within the local television arena, managing large teams of people, managing budgets and overall day-to-day operations of a 24-hour news station.
​
Jody also spent a year in Chile as an exchange student from 2000 - 2001.
As a journalist, I strive to bring a fresh perspective to every story. I am dedicated to uncovering the truth and shedding light on important issues. Whether it's covering breaking news or in-depth investigative journalism, I am committed to delivering compelling and informative content to my audience.
