I am an international media specialist with experience in a number of newsrooms across the USA, and I am looking for a media position in Cape Town. My work experience in news, entertainment, politics and current affairs environments is complemented by a life traveling around the world from an early age. I received my Master of Science in Communication in the USA and have been living and working in the States for the past 6 years.
My track record includes:

· Research and production at Al Jazeera English -- on the flagship, daily, live, interactive show, "Riz Khan" and the weekly profile series, "Riz Khan's One on One".

· Hosting the "Dively Frontiers Series" -- interviews include: General Alexander Haig, David Gergen, Doris Kearns Goodwin, & Carl Hiaasen among other high-profile guests.

· Public Relations specialist in the U.S. political system, advising thirteen Congressmen & Congresswomen -- providing first-hand experience of the House of Representatives. Including fundraising and event management.

· Media intern for "The Electronic News Magazine", with reporting from the World Bank Headquarters in Washington, DC.

· Host of "World Without Borders", a podcast series covering key international news using new media to target the youth audience.

· News intern at ABC News affiliate in West Palm Beach, FL.

· Reporter for "Lynn Knightly News".

· Contributing member of the National Broadcasting Association.

· First student to be awarded the Associated Press Broadcasting Scholarship, and received the communications award from Lynn University, graduating Summa Cum Laude.

· Developing the media and marketing strategy for the Corporate Council of Africa's US-Africa Business Summit in Washington, DC, including the organization of media contracts, reporting to senior board members and CEOs.

· Heading the media campaign for Lynn University from concept creation to production and implementation.




I have recently completed the pilot production of "Africa in Color", a show focused on stories from across the African continent, with the goal of highlighting positive development in an innovative and creative method. Working as a media assistant at Lynn University, I was given the task of heading their media campaign. The commercials I produced, along with my creation of our various social media sites and blogs, won several national awards and are to be used as a case study at PRSA's national conference in July.




Having witnessed the changing face of broadcasting based on new media and multitasking, I have made sure that my skill-set includes experience in a number of disciplines, including:

· Filming (on location and sit-down interview set ups) and photography

· Editing (Avid and Final Cut Pro)

· News and feature writing (using iNews and ENPS)

· Newsgathering, research, and content creation

· New interactive multimedia practices (blogging, social media, web 2.0)
