What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to leverage my communication skills and drive business growth while fostering meaningful client relationships.

I am a results-driven media and communications professional with extensive experience in journalism, content creation, public relations, and business development. My journey began as a reporter at RBA, where I honed my skills in storytelling and media relations, contributing to various projects that emphasized impactful communication. Fluent in French, English, and Kinyarwanda, I have a unique ability to connect with diverse audiences.

Throughout my career, I have held significant roles, including Copywriter and Project Manager at Right Venture Creative, where I led projects from inception to completion, created engaging content, and collaborated with creative teams to produce compelling visual stories. Currently, as a Business Development Manager at IGIHE Ltd., I focus on client relationship management, developing tailored solutions, and driving business growth through strategic communication and market analysis.
