What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role where I can apply my existing experience while continuing to grow and develop new skills. I value challenging work, continuous learning, and working with people who challenge my thinking, broaden my perspective, and encourage me to grow professionally.

I am a communications and marketing professional with experience across startups, NGOs and international organisations. My work spans marketing strategy, business development, digital content and client relationships, with a focus on strengthening brand visibility and supporting growth.

I have developed leads and partnerships, managed social media and campaigns, supported media relations, and coordinated promotional activities and community engagement. I also work with senior leadership on strategic communications and facilitate online sessions. Combining creativity with strong project coordination skills, I bring a practical approach to connecting with audiences and supporting business objectives.
