I am a creative, results-driven communications specialist with 3+ years of experience across corporate, NGO, and faith-based organizations, skilled in content strategy, media relations, photography, and video production. I have a proven track record growing online engagement, strengthening brand visibility, and delivering multimedia campaigns that support advocacy and donor communication.
