Result-driven communications professional with expertise in development communication.
What I'm looking for
I am a communications professional with a strong focus on development communication and a solid background in journalism and administrative support. My experience includes working as a Junior Project Assistant at UNESCO, where I coordinate workshops and manage logistics to ensure successful project implementation. I pride myself on my ability to create impactful communication strategies that enhance visibility and engagement.
Throughout my career, I have taken on various roles, including Survey Coordinator for the Lesotho Global School-based Student Health Survey, where I led survey activities and ensured data accuracy. My work as a Social Media Monitor for the EU Electoral Observation Mission allowed me to analyze political narratives on social media, providing insights that shaped our understanding of public discourse. I am passionate about using my skills to contribute to meaningful projects that drive positive change.
