It has been my main wish and desire since I joined NPOC last year to become part of the awesome team working on making NPOC a strong, impactful name in the ICANN and IG community, a true voice for not-for-profits everywhere in the world, and I've always thought
there was no better way to this than as NPOC Communications chair. </div>

I am thankful to Caleb as the current Communications chair, he has done a great job, on making the first steps towards that - I am glad we worked together on the Communications strategy and want to congratulate him for the putting up the website during his
term. However, I think the role of Comm chair would allow me to explore and implement my many ideas, to exploit the different type of experience and the varied background I have in order to help NPOC to take its branding to the next level. And, at the end
of the day, that is what Communications is about, right? Engagement with its members, with the community, branding and PR. And as someone with 10+ years of PR, business development and marketing, I am more than confident I have the creativity, thoroughness
and work ethic needed to fulfil this role to the highest standards, if you would entrust me it it. </div>

<ol>
<li><u>Skills and experience</u>: I have been working in business development and marketing for 10+ years, in both business and NGO work. I have done social media campaigns, website development and management, PR campaigns, corporate branding and communication,
and so on. I am experienced in using design tools like Adobe suite, newsletter tools (Mailchimp), social media management tools (Hootsuite), website development platform (Joomla and Wordpress). It has always been my passion, which I have been doing continuously
for pleasure alongside my legal studies since highschool.</li><li><u>Ideas</u>: I have so many ideas on what we could do with NPOC, revolving around: a. Increased social media presence, primarily via Twitter, but not only. b. Regular reporting to and consulting with community members, via website, social media, lists.
c. Unitary marketing materials, representing our goals and mission. d. A coherent recruitment strategy, built alongside the Membership Chair, to make NPOC attractive to new members, keep members involved, and most importantly. e. Most importantly, a better
understand of what NPOC is and does, and how we can better serve our members (both within and outside NPOC).</li><li><u>NPOC:<span> </span></u>I understand well NPOC and its specific mission, and most importantly, I deeply believe in it becoming a stronger voice, representing its members. Due to my diverse background (having done policy/branding/marketing/NGO work), I
think I am strategically placed to create a Strategy that would enhance that in the year to come. I am willing to put in all the work needed and work closely with the EC.</li></ol>
