What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my media skills in a creative environment, where I can contribute to impactful projects and grow professionally.

I am a creative and results-driven media professional with a strong foundation in communication and journalism. My expertise lies in video production, from conceptualization to post-production, where I excel in video editing, trimming footage, synchronizing audio, and enhancing visuals with graphics and animations. I am dedicated to producing impactful media that resonates with target audiences while maintaining brand consistency and elevating creative standards.

During my internship at Muthingi TV, I contributed to an advertisement campaign that continues to air and produced a children's show that is still being broadcast. My responsibilities included collaborating on video editing tasks, operating cameras during shoots, and conducting equipment setup for smooth operations. I also developed detailed storyboards and conducted research to ensure content accuracy, tailoring messaging to enhance project impact.

In addition to my media experience, I have a background in sales, where I achieved significant sales increases and successfully introduced an online sales platform. My diverse skill set, including creativity, time management, and technical proficiency, positions me as a valuable asset in any media production environment.
