What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can manage executive communications, translate and draft official documents, and coordinate international events—supporting media, stakeholders, and leadership with discretion.

I coordinate institutional communications, stakeholder engagement, and multilingual executive correspondence at the National Press Council. I draft and translate official press releases and policy documents, organize conferences and executive meetings, and manage confidential information while monitoring media coverage.

Before that, I supported protocol and logistics for official foreign delegations through the House of Representatives—Parliament, preparing briefing notes and diplomatic documents. I also managed corporate communications and public relations initiatives at Sanford Federal Africa, including media relations and crisis communication support.

I’ve contributed across media and community work too: translating content as a Community Manager Intern at Maghreb Arab Presse and researching and publishing articles for Morocco World News. Alongside that, I’ve led humanitarian advocacy with Unity for Equality and coordinated outreach and fundraising through the Lions Association.
