I have been a media professional for about a decade, as a journalist and in public relations. I spent most of my career as a financial journalist at Reuters news agency, where I enjoyed a great deal of success working on major news stories throughout southern Africa. I later embarked on the next phase of my career, as a freelance writer and public relations specialist for various agencies and individuals. In just a few months as a PR specialist, I managed to score for clients: front-page exposure in one of the Cape's biggest newspapers, as well as coverage on several radio stations. I believe my wide range of experience as a financial journalist puts me in an excellent position to gain optimal exposure for clients. I have gained a variety of media contacts (spanning print, radio and TV) that will assist me and clients in this regard.
