Pulse: How did you manage to land a TV job as an anchor at only 21? Michelle: It was not part of my plans and I did not see it coming. For starters, I was a third-year Law student then at the University of Nairobi (UON) when I bumped into one of the directors of the company I am working for. He asked me if I had ever thought of becoming a TV anchor and that is how it all came together.
P: Had you ever thought of getting into media? M: Well, as a young girl in secondary school, I used to admire TV anchors but that was just that. After he asked me to go for a screen test, I gave it a shot and at the back of my mind I thought I had really goofed. After a few weeks, I was called to sign my letter. I had gotten the job.
