What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role that fosters creativity and growth in communications.

I am a creative and results-driven communicator with over three years of experience in internal, external, and digital campaigns. My journey in communications has equipped me with the skills to craft and implement effective communication strategies that resonate with diverse audiences. Currently, as a Corporate Communications Trainee at BASF, I develop and distribute internal newsletters and manage content publication across various digital platforms, ensuring brand consistency and visibility.

My previous role as a Corporate Communications Intern at CHEP allowed me to hone my skills in managing email communications and producing multimedia content. I take pride in my ability to coordinate press releases and contribute to campaigns from ideation to execution, ensuring that key messages are delivered effectively. Additionally, my experience as a Social Media Manager for a client within the Ethekwini Municipality has further enhanced my content creation and social media management skills, allowing me to engage audiences and promote brand initiatives successfully.
