What I'm looking for

I seek a communications or PR role in a mission-driven organization where I can apply writing, media management, training, and community engagement skills while growing professionally.

I am a Public Relations graduate with hands-on experience in public communications, social media and website management, speech and public notice writing, event organization, and budget formulation. My roles at Zomba City Council and Perivoli Schools Trust Malawi showcase my ability to produce clear written materials, manage stakeholder engagement, and train others effectively.

I bring strong public speaking, client engagement, and organizational skills, plus practical training experience developing learning resources and supporting early-childhood educators. I am motivated, energetic, and committed to contributing measurable impact in fast-paced, community-focused environments.
