I shall never forget the sheer horror of having to watch myself back on camera. […]

I said yes…to PR! 

As the curtain closed on my political communication Master’s degree, it was time to enter the graduate job market. The competition was going to be tough. I was grateful for a role that would help tide me over and be relatively linked to my degree. At least that was my mindset at the time. Don’t […]
