What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to engage with communities and tell impactful stories while fostering relationships through effective communication.

I am a passionate field journalist with a strong ability to identify and report compelling stories. My background in media and communications has equipped me with the skills necessary to engage stakeholders and create innovative strategies that foster sustainable relationships between organizations and the public.

During my time at Rahma Broadcasting Limited, I honed my skills in capturing the nuances of community stories, often focusing on those that are overlooked or marginalized in mainstream media. I believe in the power of storytelling to shed light on important social, economic, and political issues, and I strive to bring these narratives to life through vivid descriptions and effective communication techniques.

With a solid educational foundation in Media and Digital Communication from Zetech University, I am dedicated to enhancing the value of teams and projects. I am eager to contribute my skills and experience to a dynamic organization that values impactful storytelling and community engagement.
