I am Zakkiethunnisa, more commonly known among friends and colleagues as Zakkie. I am currently a second-year undergraduate at SIM-University at Buffalo (SIM-UB), pursuing a BA in Communication and Sociology. I also hold a Diploma in Mass Communication from Ngee Ann Polytechnic. Additionally, I have a combined 16 months of experience interning with leading media entities, such as Singapore Press Holdings and MediaCorp. On top of polishing my journalistic skills during this work experience, I have experience in designing publicity collaterals through my CCA and volunteering efforts over the last four years.
Although I began my media journey with the ambition of becoming a print journalist, I have since been exposed to greater aspects of the media communications industry, and have been exploring the various job prospects available. Having explored journalism across print, broadcast and online platforms, and having been assistant producer for a current affairs programme, I am currently keen to explore job prospects in copywriting, advertising and public relations.
When I am not furiously juggling university assignments and my Student Council responsibilities, I keep up with a few Netflix favourites and try my hand at writing poetry. I took to opening an Instagram account for my poetry pieces @ruhlit_ in 2020 too!
Simply said, I am now Zakkiethunnisa: Content Creator.
