South AfricaWhat I'm looking for
I am a highly organized and creative professional with a strong foundation in communications, media, and public relations.

I have honed my skills through various internships and roles, including my time as a Marketing and Administrative Intern at Ubunye be Afrika Development Trust, where I facilitated business plan assessments and managed official correspondence.
