What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a strategic communications role where I can combine journalism, digital storytelling, and PR to improve community health, economic and social well-being—working collaboratively on development, digital journalism, and solution journalism.

I am a strategic and digital communications manager and public relations practitioner with over 6 years of experience in the media and communication space. I combine excellent writing with audio-visual editing, storytelling, and strong audience-focused messaging.

I’m passionate about development, digital communications, solution journalism, and content creation, and I’m open to opportunities that leverage my passion, skills, and energy in a strategic way. I believe in simplifying and visualising communication materials so that different target audiences understand easily.

In recent roles, I supported advocacy and awareness through content creation and campaign outreach, including maintaining and publishing blog content and adapting messages across digital platforms. I also delivered hands-on humanitarian, development, and digital communications work, coordinating content from thirteen (13) countries to increase visibility, improve engagement, and produce impact-focused storytelling and reporting.

Earlier, I strengthened my editorial foundation as a Sub Editor, producing error-free print and digital content, ensuring due diligence while editing, and supporting multimedia workflows. I also anchored live TV news as a News Anchor/Reporter/Show Host and handled public relations and information dissemination as a Communications Officer and operations assistant.
