My expertise lies in developing and implementing PR strategies that enhance organizational visibility and reputation. I possess strong writing, content creation, and stakeholder management skills, along with a deep understanding of modern communication trends, including social media and digital public relations.

In my current role as a Press Liaison Assistant at the National Railways of Zimbabwe, I have contributed to the development and execution of communication strategies that support the company's objectives during high-profile exhibitions and events.
