About Me

I am a media and communication professional with a strong foundation in journalism, development communication, and visual storytelling. Holding an undergraduate degree in Journalism and Mass Communication, I bring over four years of hands-on experience working with non-governmental and community-based organizations, where I have contributed as both a Program Officer and Communication Officer.

My work has focused on designing communication strategies, managing digital platforms, documenting impact, and translating complex social issues into clear, engaging narratives.

Alongside my professional role in development, I am an active photographer with experience since 2020, using photography as a tool for storytelling, advocacy, and documentation. I manage and curate content across multiple platforms, including YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn, strengthening digital engagement and audience reach through visual and written communication.
