What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role that fosters creativity and innovation in communications.

I am a passionate communications specialist with extensive experience in the gaming industry. I have served as a video games industry reporter at GamesIndustryAfrica, where I created original editorial content and engaged with industry leaders to highlight trends and insights. My ability to grow social media presence has been demonstrated by increasing LinkedIn followers significantly since my tenure began.

In my previous role as a Communications Specialist at Bright Gambit, I collaborated with indie developers to craft compelling messaging and executed communication strategies that aligned with marketing objectives. My experience as an independent video game content creator has honed my skills in audience engagement and content analysis, ensuring that I stay at the forefront of gaming technology and trends.

With a background in research and marketing strategy, I have developed a keen understanding of data-driven decision-making and the importance of effective communication in promoting products. I am committed to delivering high-quality, engaging content that resonates with audiences and drives business success.
