What I'm looking for

I’m looking for communication work where I can support impactful initiatives, foster connection, drive engagement, and amplify organizational impact.

At Power Teachers Africa NGO, I manage and create content for five social media platforms, develop strategy, and work to increase engagement. I also design posters, coordinate visuals from field visits, and advise on website updates and digital presence.

As Partnerships and Communication Specialist at Early Years Network – Uganda, I coordinated internal communications, oversaw social media platforms, and prepared media statements. I also managed the department budget and tracked communication-related expenses.

My work has also included customer support at Rain Network South Africa and remote client and administrative support at Beyond Global Solutions Ltd. I hold a Masters in Communication and Brand Leadership and a Bachelor of Arts Hons in Broadcasting and Journalism.
