What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic writing role that fosters growth and learning opportunities.

My name is Pfunzo Ralinala, and I am a detail-oriented professional with a strong passion for scriptwriting and digital content creation. With a Bachelor's in Journalism and Media Studies and a Master's in International Business, I have honed my skills in content writing, SEO optimization, and audience engagement. My experience includes volunteering as a scriptwriter for a media startup, where I create and manage engaging content for YouTube channels, ensuring high-quality production standards.

In addition to my scriptwriting role, I have been actively involved in writing reviews for my anime blog, Days of Otaku, where I analyze trends and craft compelling narratives. My internship at Openfield Marketing allowed me to gain valuable experience in event marketing, where I assisted in planning and executing events that promoted brand engagement. I am eager to leverage my skills in a dynamic writing role, contributing to innovative teams while continuing to grow professionally.
