What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to grow in journalism and public relations, where I can contribute creatively and strategically.

I am an ambitious multimedia professional with a strong background in mass communication. My education at the Ken Gordon School of Journalism and Communication Studies has equipped me with the skills necessary to excel in the fields of journalism and public relations. I thrive in dynamic environments where I can leverage my creativity and communication skills to make a meaningful impact.

Currently, I serve as a Marketing and Communications Assistant at The University of the West Indies, where I have successfully created and maintained databases, generated graphics for inter-regional projects, and facilitated communication with high-profile guests. My previous internship experiences at AZP News and Green Market have further honed my abilities in content creation, social media management, and public relations strategy.
