What their colleagues say
I鈥檝e had the pleasure of working with Priscilla for around three years and during that time I have been constantly impressed by her work ethic, attention to detail and leadership skills. She has been an integral part of the relaunch of the BBC鈥檚 flagship African news show Focus on Africa, which for the first time is being broadcast from Kenya. During this relaunch period she consistently came up with fresh ideas and showed a talent for problem solving in a stressful time. I have no doubt that Priscilla will continue to hone her skills and make a success of whatever she turns her mind to."
