I would describe myself as a passionate and hardworking university student with an interest in non-profit work and advocacy. My specialties are PR writing, media management, and designing brand material all while keeping target audiences in mind. I’m always looking to develop a better understanding of communications and test my acquired skills through first-hand experience.
