What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an entry-level policy analysis or public administration role where I can produce data-driven policy briefs and research reports, collaborate with stakeholders, and support community-focused governance and social development outcomes.

I’m a Bachelor of Arts in Public Governance graduate with demonstrated expertise in policy analysis, public administration, and research writing. Through my work readiness and research experience, I focus on delivering efficient public service solutions grounded in evidence.

In my Research and Policy Analysis Project at North West University (2023–2025), I conducted comprehensive policy research and analysis using research methods and political science frameworks. I developed policy briefs and research reports, and I collaborated with academic teams to analyze gender and development initiatives within public administration frameworks.

I also completed an intensive Work Readiness Programme (2024), strengthening business communication, ethical leadership, and problem-solving in collaborative scenarios. I bring strong stakeholder engagement, critical thinking, and governance-focused analytical skills to support community-centered public administration outcomes.
