C.V
I am a friendly and hardworking individual, with excellent computer, and communication skills. I am looking to build upon my experience in Freelance Journalism, PR and admin, which I currently do on a tele-commuting basis.
I add a creative edge and enthusiasm to all I do, and have the ability to work on my own initiative. I am also used to communicating with people at various levels.
