Although my specialisations are in Journalism and Publishing for print, online and radio media and Production and Presentation for the radio medium, I do also have an interest in simple web design layouts and other fields in the multi-faceted Mass Communication industry. Thus, this resume is to identify, arrange and present my qualifications for the perusal of potential employers
