What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply my public relations, strategic communication, media, research, and stakeholder communication skills in a role where I can contribute, build relationships, and continue growing professionally.

I've completed a Diploma in Public Relations at Rosebank College and an Advanced Diploma in Public Relations at Durban University of Technology, including Advanced Media Studies, Strategic Communication, Project Management, and Research Methodology.

During high school, I worked in sports journalism: I reported on matches, photographed events, interviewed players, and presented weekly sports summaries at assembly.

I've served as a class representative for three years at Rosebank College and again during my advanced diploma studies. I relayed information and concerns between students and lecturers, building strong relationships and strengthening my leadership skills.

I'm a hardworking, organised, dependable, disciplined, sociable, open, and highly motivated communicator who works well with people from different cultures, beliefs, and personalities.
