While working as a PR and marketing officer for Oxfam, I was responsible for planning wide-ranging

creative print and online media campaigns,

involving creating engaging press releases, liasing with regional and national media, developing a social media strategy, producing dynamic advertising and promotional materials, managing press briefings and photoshoots, planning fundraising events, and working with support officers to secure sponsorship and investment.

I am currently employed as project manager of Neweurasia, a bi-lingual citizen journalism portal covering society and politics in Central Asia, that is regularly cited by the likes of The Guardian, BBC and New York Times.

The role requires me to oversee staffing and recruitment, plan marketing and fundraising activity,

manage a large editorial and administrative budget, oversee a team of editors and support staff, plan future strategy,

organise journalism training courses across Central Asia, chair regular management meetings, and oversee technical operations.
