Your strengths include clear and compelling storytelling, confident media and crisis communication, and fluency in tools like Microsoft Office, Adobe, Canva, and social media platforms. You lead with strong judgment, political awareness, and a people-centered approach, staying calm under pressure and communicating with clarity and care.

 

To be successful in this role, you’ll likely bring:

  • A bachelor’s degree in communications, journalism, public relations, or a related field
