I am a Creative journalist and mass communications professional with hands-on experience in digital marketing, customer care, and media outreach. During my internship with the Marketing Society of Kenya, I covered hard news and health topics, wrote and edited a talk show script, captured photography, and drafted newspaper proposals while researching industry trends, including a PR interview at Thika Motors. I thrive on thorough research, clear storytelling in English and Swahili, and delivering reliable, engaging content. I’m seeking roles that blend journalism and marketing to uncover the truth and connect audiences with compelling narratives.
