Jamal W. - 20642 Media Relations Officer from Oakville

Over the past 6 years I have had extensive exposure to all areas of modern and traditional media. As the lone communications specialist for the Food4Change Caribbean Project, funded by the International Development Research Centre (IDRC), I used my knowledge of social media to grow the brand’s Instagram following by 90%. During my time with the brand, I became well acquainted with multitasking, short deadlines and working in multiple roles at once. Moreover, I started gained skills while on the job, namely: basic graphic design skills. Also, while working as an information officer/communication specialist at the Barbados Government Information Service (BGIS) I often interacted the local media in order to ensure my client's information was presented in the way it was intended to be represented..
