Continuing Education

Why did I choose to continue my education?

The Covid-19 pandemic has halted many aspects of people’s lives including my own; however, as I await on job opportunities, I thought I would take this time for myself  to engage in online learning and develop more skills that could potentially make me more marketable in the field of Journalism. 

Featured below: Certificates that I achieved through online learning.
