## About

```text
I’m a Public Relations professional and Creative Strategist, focused on bridging brand identity and audience engagement through digital storytelling, graphic design, UX research, and strategic communication.

I’ve driven measurable growth—engineering a content strategy that boosted Facebook engagement by 156%—and created high-impact visual campaigns for organizations including LAMPAIX and FIDA for the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence.

On freelance projects, I conceptualize, script, and edit video content aligned to brand aesthetics and typography, while also supporting day-to-day operations like scheduling and client communications. I develop original digital art and design assets for both personal and corporate brands.

Earlier roles include serving as a Social Media Officer for Soar Appliances Ltd., maintaining a WordPress e-commerce site with accurate inventory/SKU updates and handling customer relations for digital inquiries. I also completed a Public Relations internship at Grayling Middle East, supporting media outreach, press kit preparation, and corporate communications.
