Sarafina announced her departure from KBC with an Instagram post in which she reflected on her time there.
“I still remember the first time I received a call to start working at KBC, I was so excited I cried so much! For six years, I have met people who have molded me into the journalist I am today,” the post read.
“Today I cried a lot saying goodbye because I am not so good at goodbyes and I had gotten pretty attached to the national broadcaster.”
Sarafina expressed gratitude to KBC for guiding her as a journalist and emphasizing the importance of professionalism.
“KBC has taught me the importance of being professional, given me some pretty good work ethic na for that nitawamiss sana lakini tutakutana field,” she mentioned.
Sarafina describes herself on her LinkedIn profile as a multimedia journalist with extensive experience in all aspects of journalism.
She has been covering environmental and science stories for over five years, including impactful feature stories, summit coverage, and interviews with major industry players from various sectors.
