Motivated communications professional with expertise in public relations.
MaltaWhat I'm looking for
I am a dedicated communications professional currently working for the Ministry of Transport, Infrastructure and Public Works, where I manage media relations and develop public communication strategies. My journey began as a receptionist, where I honed my multitasking and customer service skills, before transitioning into child animation, where I fostered creativity and engagement among children.
In my current role as a Communications Officer, I have successfully led communication efforts for various EU-funded projects and large-scale infrastructure initiatives. I take pride in crafting clear and engaging messaging that resonates with the public, ensuring transparency and understanding of government initiatives. A highlight of my career was my involvement in the national campaign Reshaping Our Mobility, where I played a key role in shaping narratives and managing campaign rollouts across multiple media channels.
My academic background includes a B.A. in European Studies and Communications, and I am currently pursuing an M.A. in Public Policy. I am passionate about leveraging my skills in social media management, content creation, and public speaking to make a positive impact in the communications field.
