What I'm looking for

I seek roles in communications, PR, or marketing within collaborative, mission-driven organizations where I can apply research-led strategy, stakeholder engagement, and community outreach to drive impact and growth.

I am a communications and public relations professional with experience in marketing, administration, teaching, and international development. I hold a Master of Arts in International Relations and a BA in English Education, and I combine research-driven problem solving with strong client relationship skills.

I have worked across education, campaign communications, research internships, and marketing roles in Malaysia and Nigeria, leading communication and administrative functions and supporting program delivery. Key achievements include published research in international relations and coordinating community support projects providing uniforms, footwear, and books to disadvantaged students.

I am adaptable in multicultural environments, comfortable working independently or in teams, and bring strong organizational, leadership, and Microsoft Office skills to roles that require diplomacy, stakeholder engagement, and clear public-facing communication.
