    About Me

    I am a Global Communications and Marketing Manager with 7+ years of experience driving omnichannel, video-first strategies and integrated marketing campaigns for complex international organizations. I hold a Master of Science in Digital Marketing and Media from Yeshiva University, blending academic rigor with field-tested expertise in media relations, brand management, and digital partnerships.

    My track record spans leading high-stakes press events and scaling creator-led narratives across global platforms — from serving as Press Attaché for Team Zambia at the Paris 2024 Olympics to managing media operations at the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games and the Inaugural WBSC Youth Baseball5 World Cup in Ankara. I proactively leverage AI-tooling to streamline workflows, scale impact, and advance organizational adoption.

    Beyond institutional roles, I drive commercial growth as the Founder of Tunta Sports + Entertainment, focusing on Athlete Representation and Commercial Rights Delivery. As Founding President of the Para Powerlifting & Para Fitness Association of Zambia, I champion inclusivity through digital media, engagement, and strategic partnerships — telling stories that matter and driving positive change.
