Freelance broadcast journalist with extensive marketing and event experience.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated freelance broadcast journalist with a rich background in sales, marketing, and event management. My journey began in the media industry, where I honed my skills as a TV and radio reporter, and I have since expanded my expertise to include various roles in hospitality and tourism. My experience as a co-owner of Dinah's Tourist Inn and my work at Luftburg have equipped me with a unique perspective on customer relations and event coordination.
Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a strong commitment to excellence, whether managing a team at Hard Rock Café or overseeing operations at luxury hotels. My educational background in Mass Communication and ongoing pursuit of knowledge in journalism and communication have further solidified my ability to engage audiences effectively. I am passionate about storytelling and leveraging my diverse experiences to create compelling narratives that resonate with viewers.
