What I'm looking for

I seek a role in media, broadcasting, or communications where I can produce content, lead programming or editorial teams, engage audiences, and grow in a collaborative, service-oriented organization.

I am an energetic communication student focused on electronic media with hands-on experience in journalism, radio broadcasting, digital marketing, and event hosting. I have led editorial teams, managed radio programming, and produced published articles in both English and Swahili, consistently upholding journalistic ethics and audience engagement.

I thrive in high-pressure, service-oriented environments and enjoy coaching peers, developing content strategies, and representing organizations at outreach events. I am eager to contribute my skills to a professional media or customer-facing team and open to relocation opportunities.
