Communications Professional

Australia

Working in communication roles over the past decade, I’ve had the amazing privilege to tell the stories of so may. From bringing the personal stories of everyday people and the things that matter to them to life while working across print and digital media, to telling stories of political importance and business change as a PR and internal communications professional, every story has a place and a need to exist.

If you ask me today what I do, it simply comes down to this:

I find the right message to deliver to the right people on the right channels to meet both the audience’s and the business’ needs.

A compilation of my old journalism article are here. If you’d like to find out more reach out by email or DM me over on LinkedIn where my CV stays fairly up-to-date.

Long walk

AFTER years of walking from country to country amidst civil war, Abraham Mukei took one final journey to restore some type of justice for his homeland. This time his trip was filled with joy as he headed to Canberra from his adopted home in South Australia to vote in the Sudanese elections.
