Welcome
Born and raised in France, I've studied English and Communications before majoring in Web Project Management.After graduation, I moved to London where I work as Communications Officer for an NGO which supports micro and small energy enterprises in developing countries.
I'm bilingual in French and English. I'm really keen on digital and corporate communications, new media and new technologies. I'm interested in marketing and emerging trends, journalism, Africa and sustainable development.
My goal is to become an expert of corporate digital communications.
I'd like to advise organisations about their online presence and reputation and also help them implement and monitor their digital strategy efforts.
Thank you for your visit.
Mayda.
