@shakiekanta
Mass communication professional delivering customer-focused communications, community engagement, and administrative excellence.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Mass Communication professional focused on communication, customer service, community outreach, and administrative support. I’m known for strengthening organizational communication, coordinating people and activities, and maintaining strong stakeholder relationships.
As a Parish Supervisor for the National Population & Housing Census with UBOS, I supervised field data collection to support accurate census reporting. I managed and trained enumerators to improve efficiency and compliance, coordinated with local leaders and stakeholders, and prepared and submitted field reports to district supervisors.
In my front desk and communication work with Dorabo Tours and Travel, I served as a primary client contact, responding to inquiries through phone, email, and in-person communication. I coordinated travel bookings, maintained client records, supported promotional and communication activities, and helped deliver consistent service relationships; earlier, as a Cashier at Hardware Store in Kampala, I managed daily financial transactions, issued receipts, and balanced cash collections with accountability.
I also bring hands-on community impact through my work as a Co-Founder of My People and Culture Organization, supporting teenage mothers and vulnerable girls with mentorship, counseling, and life-skills training. I’ve collaborated with stakeholders on outreach and empowerment initiatives, and as a Volunteer with Phoenix Children Foundation I’ve supported children’s rights advocacy, awareness campaigns, fundraising, and mentorship—skills I carry into every role I take on.
