CV
Professional Summary
With my degree in Language and Culture, and accompanying certificates, I have been working on collaborative community driven projects for the last 3 years. I have an exemplary record of working on various projects with a focus on youth empowerment, employability, development and mentoring. I am truly passionate about working with our local communities and hope to extend my experience and knowledge abroad. In partnership with a few local organisations (MiDO Foundation, Usiko and Ezrah Community Training & Development) I was able to offer my support and stand in the gap as a creative, facilitator, and volunteer.
I am also a skilled story-teller with experience in project management, content writing, creative directing and public relations.
​
My passion is to help others and tell their stories, perhaps I can tell yours.

Interests
I truly come alive when I am experiencing something or somewhere new. I thrive in change and get restless when my days are coloured in consistent sameness. I do enjoy a good mystery series (to watch or to read), being outdoors (alone or with good company), DIYs, beach walks, journaling at a coffee shop, vintage cinema screenings, movie nights, themed parties and well... a few many things.
