whY communications?

Hi There!

Allow me to introduce myself,

I believe myself to be a textbook “People Person”. My predominantly charismatic and sociable personally is shaped by the fact that I find the sheer diversity of the human experience to be absolutely fascinating.


Much of who we are as individuals is shaped by our experiences, which is why I love initiating insightful conversations that encourage me to experience perspectives beyond my understanding. To me, there’s nothing more satisfying than uncovering someone else’s life story—especially when it leads to the realization that you share more in common than you would have ever expected.


I honestly think that’s why I see so much value in communications. It allows us to share our experiences with each other, learn valuable lessons from one another, and most importantly, pave the way for profound interpersonal connections.


While brainstorming ideas for developing my "personality breakdown," I found a few insightful studies about MBTI personality testing and decided to try it out.


The traits identified by the MBTI test perfectly highlight all the characteristics that have enabled me to excel in communications. As such, I've included a high-level overview of the results.

Internal Communications

I believe that a robust internal communications strategy is often overlooked but is undeniably essential for the seamless operation of any organization.


When employees are engaged and well-informed about the company's goals, values, and developments, they feel a deeper connection and commitment to the organization.


I take great pride in delivering consistent and clear communication that ensures alignment toward common goals, which is crucial for the organization's success.

SOCIAL MEDIA

MANAGMENT

The emergence of social media and its various platforms has presented us with a unique opportunity to personify a brand and create a community that resonates with it.


More importantly, it enables engagement and connection with that community, strengthening consumer relationships and forging a genuine connection with billions globally. With the right strategy, a brand’s voice through social media becomes more than just another communication tool—it becomes a personality. This invaluable persona has revolutionized how we perceive and interact with small businesses and large corporations.

THE MORE THE MERRIER!

In my previous role at Plan Group Inc., I oversaw the curation and distribution of all content to our +50k followers across all social media platforms!

PUBLIC

RELATIONS

My expertise in Public Relations primarily lies in eliciting positive emotional responses from the target audience in both successful and challenging times.


I strongly believe that effective PR strategies are not about enforcing agreement but rather facilitating a connection and fostering respect for the corporation through its authentic and genuine representation. The primary role in Public Relations is to diligently protect all facets of an organization's identity, steadfastly adhering to the brand ethos and ensuring its protection at all costs. Navigating this complex communication landscape is where I thrive, delivering outcomes that are not only impactful but also enduring.

GOOD PR ADDS GREAT VALUE!

CONTENT CREATION

AND COPYWRITING

The strategic process of content creation, curation, and copywriting is undoubtedly my favourite aspect of communications.


When tasked with developing insightful content, I diligently engage in thorough independent research to gain a deep understanding of the subject matter. From conducting interviews to initiating discussions with employees, I gather insights to create key messages that align with our corporate positioning. Then, I take everything I’ve learned and start writing. The responsibility of representing a brand and finding the perfect way to express key messages is exhilarating. From identifying

the ideal tone for an astute publication to curating copy that genuinely appeals to the target audience, there’s nothing more fulfilling than strategically crafting impactful content that resonates with readers.

WORDS WIN CONVERSIONS!

Websites with optimized, well-written copy have seen conversion rates of 6% or higher, significantly above the average website conversion rate of 2.35%.

Brand

building

My career in communications opened the door to discovering and embracing my passion for graphic design and branding.


Over the years, I've self-taught and independently refined this essential skillset. In light of this new-found passion, I took it upon myself to demonstrate my comprehensive understanding of branding and design principles by creating a personalized brand for this portfolio—a brand purposefully crafted to reflect my own identity while simultaneously exemplifying my proficiency in tactfully upholding brand guidelines.

Colour Pallet

Subtle neutral earth tones capture the essence of my warm-welcoming nature; paired with complementary pops of bold cooler-toned accents to parallel my vibrant and outgoing personality.


Font

Contrasting fonts mirror my approach to relational professionalism: the first being a sans-serif, which is precise, direct, and efficient; the second, a classic serif that epitomizes sociability and charisma.


Graphic Devices

The geometric design elements, composed of fine lines, diagonal dots and fractal arches, further complement the brand's vivacious and professional look and feel.


Brand Voice

Unsurprisingly, the voice of my brand reflects my own: affable, articulate, and well-versed in the art of communication.
