Managing Director / Media Professional

I am an accomplished and versatile professional with expertise in customer care, media leadership, and audio production. As Managing Director of City Radio 89.7 FM, I led the station from inception to wide regional impact, overseeing team development, operations, and community engagement. I am skilled in sound mixing and audio editing with a deep understanding of acoustics, delivering high-quality audio production with clarity and precision. I am a strong communicator and team motivator, known for a hands-on leadership style and dedication to service excellence, innovation, and organisational growth.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a commitment to operational strategy, financial oversight, and external partnerships, which have been critical in growing and sustaining a successful regional radio station. I have implemented training and mentorship programs to nurture new talent and improve staff performance. My leadership has fostered a values-based workplace culture, helping the team navigate challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic and economic downturns.

In addition to my leadership roles, I have hands-on experience in news broadcasting, content planning, and social media engagement. I have delivered clear and engaging news broadcasts while maintaining high journalistic standards and credibility. I have also played a key role in crisis communication and reputation management, safeguarding the station’s public image during sensitive periods.

My technical skills include multi-track audio editing, use of soundboards, and post-production clean-up using professional software and equipment. I have written and delivered original news scripts and promotional content tailored to radio audiences. I have also contributed to strategic communications, announcements, and public statements, including milestone celebrations and crisis responses.

Beyond media, I have creative skills in graphic design using CorelDRAW and have developed social media campaigns to enhance listener engagement and brand visibility. Additionally, I have pursued fashion design as a freelance creative venture, producing bespoke clothing items that demonstrate attention to detail and aesthetic judgment.

I am fluent in English and French, which enhances my ability to communicate effectively in diverse environments. I am passionate about continuous learning and growth, always seeking new opportunities to apply my skills and contribute to organisational success.
