Mihret Degif

In addition to her academic studies, she completed a journalism training program at Kifta Education Training and Consulting Institute. She has also earned certificates in fact-checking and other related fields from various local and international organizations.

Outside of her formal education, her entire childhood was deeply rooted in Debre Gelila Amanuel Egziabher Meslene Sunday School. It was during her time there that she built the foundation for who she is today. Her passion for literature, in particular, blossomed from an early age through her active participation in both Sunday school and regular school activities. She was heavily involved in poetry, recitations, drama, and other creative expressions, a passion that has stayed with her and finally borne fruit.

Over the years, she has won various awards and certificates of appreciation for participating in literary competitions, stage performances, and events at the school, woreda, sub-city, and city-wide levels. Similarly, she has received numerous awards for her active involvement in spiritual services. To this day, she continues to present her work on various literary platforms.

After graduating from Kotebe University of Education, she served as a teacher at Atse Fasil Primary School for about two years. During her short time in the profession, she received several certificates of appreciation and rank promotions.

Following her teaching career, she worked as a program producer at Tewahedo Media Center for about a year, where she created and hosted her own spiritual programs. Currently, she works as a Senior Reporter at Hagerie Television, having served in the station’s news department for the past year.

The love for literature that has followed her since childhood remains strong, and she has now completed preparations to share her very first book, titled “Yewboch Negest,” with readers.
