What I'm looking for

I seek a communications role where I can lead multimedia content production, grow audience engagement, and support mission-driven outcomes in a collaborative environment.

I am a digital communications professional with experience leading digital communications, editorial teams, and a media startup. I combine videography, video editing, and graphic design skills with a background in communications and education to produce high-impact content.

As Founder/CEO of Kalam Viewpoint and former Managing Editor at Petals News, I have overseen content strategy, editorial operations, and multimedia production. I have also served as Digital Communications Lead and Communications Associate for development and non-profit organizations, delivering campaigns and digital assets.

My toolkit includes Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, CorelDraw, Canva, and Excel for data tasks. I hold certificates in project management, graphics design, and international security management, and I continually pursue professional development.

I am dedicated, resourceful, and a strong team player who works well under pressure. I seek roles where I can drive storytelling, grow audience engagement, and contribute to mission-driven communications work.
