I believe that my broad experience of more than 15 years in the field of journalism and press and public information provides me with the qualifications to the post Public Information Officer. My wide experience of international missions and managing international humanitarian projects has brought me professional firmness to work in a multinational working environment.

Main objectives of my work included planning and coordinating outreach campaigns, dealing with media and dealing with sensitive and secret information, analyzing information and report writing.

The Mission shall benefit from my personal abilities like working in a team, conducting different tasks effectively and coping with difficult situations calmly. Furthermore I can offer my communication skills like speaking effectively, writing concisely and listening attentively. As an international TV-journalist I am used to respect the habits of the country in which I am currently working but at the same time stay independent and strictly impartial and work under high pressure with tough deadlines.
