What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters creativity and collaboration, where I can contribute to impactful media strategies and grow professionally.

I am a dedicated Media and Communications Specialist with a Bachelor of Arts in Emerging Communications. My passion lies in social media, public relations, and digital storytelling, where I strive to enhance brand visibility through creative content and strategic media outreach. My experience includes working as a Social Media and PR Intern at media.Xchange, where I conducted environmental and competitor scanning, participated in PR monitoring, and sourced key opinion leaders for brand campaigns.

Currently, I serve as a Social Media Manager for Para Sa’yo, where I manage and execute the brand's overall social media strategy. My role involves developing visual content calendars, maintaining brand voice, and ensuring cohesive visual storytelling across all channels. I have successfully increased engagement and follower growth through strategic content development and audience interaction.

Additionally, I have experience as a Creative Director for a short film project in the Likha Lab competition, where I directed all aspects of production and managed a team of 15 individuals. My leadership experience extends to my role as Social Media Manager for Vission and Mission for Christ Christian Church, where I curated tasks for a team of copywriters and collaborated with graphic designers to enhance our social media presence.
