I am a professional in the media industry with my Master's Degree in Applied Media, and a Bachelor's Degree in Media, Communication and Culture. During my undergraduate studies, I majored in English and Print Journalism, and during post-graduation I completed my research project in the Cultural Studies field. In addition to this I also completed a senior level Business certificate, the two-year Management Development Programme offered by the Nelson Mandela Bay Business School.
My experience has been focused on event organising, reputation management, crisis communication, project management, media liaison, strategic planning/communication and management, predominantly in the non-profit, advertising/radio sectors.
I started my career in public relations doing fundraising work for a non-profit organisation. After a successful internship, I was promoted to their Public Relations Officer. In 2012 I joined the regional commercial radio station Algoa FM as their PR practitioner, but after just one year, I was promoted to their Public Relations and Corporate Social Investment Manager, and I served on the Management team with the Senio Managers, joining in weekly management meetings and strategic engagements. I served as their spokesperson, speaking on behalf of the company with the media.
Now I am the Marketing Manager at the only investigative news brand in the Eastern Cape, Daily Dispatch. As a senior manager, I partake in all management meetings and I have a team of three people who report to me. I have a lot of experience working in the media industry and especially in high pressure situations. I have dealt with numerous crises situations and have been able to manage it successfully to the benefit of the companies that I represent. I am a high strategic individual and my passion is reputation management. I enjoy copywriting and developing the creative concepts for advertisements for print, for radio or briefing for videos.
Apart from, this I am a published writer, I have been published on prominent online and print publications in South Africa including Entrepreneur Magazine, The Media Online and BizCommunity. Some of these articles are included in my CV.
I am a highly ambitious, self-motivated and determined individual, always pushing myself to the next level and taking the brand, I represent with me.
