What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead corporate communications and brand campaigns—turning complex messaging into donor-ready publications and measurable audience growth within an accountable, fast-paced team.

I’m a communications and brand professional with cross-sector experience across private media, government, and conservation NGOs. I bring a blend of commercial execution speed and the accountability rigour expected in institutional communications.

In my recent role, I produced 12+ publications, reports, and stakeholder materials for East Africa’s conservation sector, designing and laying out 10+ program reports and editorial assets using Adobe InDesign. I coordinated stakeholder communications across five conservation program areas and managed a communications calendar spanning publications, partner engagements, events, and donor visibility.

From Cape Media, I led national brand campaign coordination—driving 23% engagement growth—while managing branded merchandise for large-scale events. I also supported high-quality execution by overseeing ad placement with a design team and reducing content errors by 90% through tighter review workflows.

Earlier, as a communications & stakeholder engagement attaché, I planned and managed World Standards Day for 200+ in-person attendees and 1,000+ livestream viewers. I drafted and managed 10+ press releases, increased media coverage by 15%, and maintained 100% audit compliance through meticulous documentation and data entry.
