To make a positive contribution to your working environment and effectively utilise skills and knowledge acquired during my studies, in particular the BA in Cultural Anthropology and Public Relations.
to-the-point consultancy is committed to the promotion of health within marginalised communities. To achieve this goal it is essential that relevant publics within the wider community are identified and sent clear messages about the options available to enhance the health status of its people. This requires the development of effective communication skills and varied and active teaching methodologies. The knowledge I acquired during my Public Relations study has enabled me to develop strategies that ensure the effective delivery of information to relevant publics and will be beneficial to organisations engaged in health promotion and delivery.
