What I'm looking for

Seeking a role that leverages my strategic communication skills in a collaborative environment focused on impactful storytelling and audience engagement.

I am a results-driven professional with over a decade of experience in communications, documentary production, sales, marketing, and customer service. My career has been marked by strategic communication and collaboration, as seen in my role as a Production Assistant at Epsilon Media Productions, where I contributed to impactful documentaries on politics, human rights, and inclusion.

My versatility shines through my experience as a Lead Sales & Marketing Associate, where I provided creative insights and collaborated with marketing teams to drive sales and brand engagement. Additionally, my role as a Public Relations Intern at the National Assembly further honed my coordination and communication skills, particularly in producing The Mace magazine.

I hold Professional Diplomas in Public Relations and Integrated Marketing Communications, complementing my hands-on experience with a strong educational foundation. My commitment to accurate representation and effective communication underscores my professional journey and ethos.
