Skills

Team Working

Experienced in working in diverse teams with individuals from various different ethnic, age, and gender backgrounds. An example of this was at my recently concluded trainee experience at Inspiration FM, where I was a key member of a team of talented professionals, and was critical to the organizational successes.


Communication

Excellent verbal and written communication skills, developed through my experiences as a radio presenter, event coordinator and usher, as well as through my academic experience. I have an excellent command of the English language, and an ability to adjust my tone and approach according to the audience/customer with whom I am communicating.


Planning/Organizing:

Developed strong organizational skills through various work assignments, ensuring that tasks are completed ahead of deadlines and that workload is effectively managed. At my previous work experience at UNILAG FM, I exceeded my managers' expectations when delivering the live weekly fashion shows; this was achieved through thoroughly planning the shows content, arranging the support staff, and ensuring that enough time was allocated for practice "dry-run" sessions before going live.


Research/Analytical:

Through my mathematical and statistical studies, I have developed an ability to deeply and quickly analyze data and information, and to quickly draw meaningful conclusions. In the workplace, I was able to put this into practice when responsible for analyzing the daily ratings statistics for the various radio shows at Inspiration FM.


Technical:

High level of proficiency in the full suite of Microsoft products, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Access. Equally proficient in the Apple suite of products (Numbers, Pages, and KeyNote). The ability type detailed notes at a rapid pace, and produce detailed spreadsheets. Very quick to learn new databases and I.T. systems.
