Bridget Ninsiima is a Broadcast Engineer with three years of experience working with NTV Uganda. She’s responsible for keeping scheduled broadcasts running, setting up live broadcasts in the field (using Satellite) or studio, maintaining and updating broadcasting hardware and software, and addressing broadcasting problems as they arise.  
During her first year in the industry, Bridget faced some challenges finding her feet and establishing herself among colleagues  due in part to her gender, but also her young age. She had to try hard to change any misperceptions around her ability to do the job. Right now Bridget is focused on developing her own skills and reputation across the business.

Bridget has also worked with the following companies; The United Nations Undergraduate Volunteer Scheme ( UNDP in partnership with the Ministry of Gender Labour and Social Development); Uganda Broadcasting corporation as an internee - studio technical operator, and Humuza Innovation Hub as a Computer Programmer. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Telecommunications Engineering from Makerere University.
