After graduation, she secured a position at the local state newspaper, ‘People’s Advocate.’ Through diligence and dedication, she ascended the ranks, eventually achieving the esteemed role of senior correspondent attached to the State House of Assembly.

Sandra’s talents extend beyond writing; she is also an accomplished filmmaker. Her inaugural documentary, ‘Chasing Humans,’ is a poignant piece aimed at dismantling stereotypes and unconscious racial biases plaguing young black men in London and the UK. The film’s premiere garnered acclaim, earning it a place as one of the standout productions at the London Mets Final Cuts film festival in June 2020.

Armed with years of experience in print and digital media, she assesses manuscripts and is integral in shaping the publishing landscape, identifying fitting manuscripts and spearheading new literary endeavours.
