What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters creativity, collaboration, and growth in the media industry.

I am a dedicated and enthusiastic Mass Communication individual currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Mass Communication with a focus on Electronic Media. My academic journey has been complemented by hands-on experience in media production, where I have developed a strong foundation in video editing, camera operations, and live broadcasting. I am committed to creating engaging content that delivers impactful messages across various electronic media platforms.

Through my roles as a Mobile Journalism Fellow and a Freelancer Media & Graphics Designer, I have honed my skills in multimedia content creation and developed a keen eye for detail. My experience working with the Office of the Governor in Makueni County has further enriched my understanding of effective communication strategies and media relations. I thrive in collaborative environments and am eager to contribute my creativity and expertise to a dynamic media team.
