Justice is an early-career Public Relations and Communications professional with formal qualifications in Public Relations Management, Journalism and Media Studies, and practical experience within government communication, public liaison, media monitoring, event coordination, stakeholder engagement and content development. I have gained relevant Communications exposure through roles with the Department of Agriculture and SAPS Communications, where I supported media monitoring, media database updates, internal and external communication, public events, roadshows, newsletters, media releases, advisories, stakeholder engagements, photography, report writing and social media administration.
