Communications Specialist for NGO & Civil Society
10 years in communications, with a recurring thread of work for NGOs and civil society organisations. Turning policy, legal, and social issues into writing, video, and web content that people actually understand.
Halo, I'm Gina
I learn from complex issues to communication people can use.
I've worked across NGO communications, media, digital marketing, and content development for the past 10 years. Writing, building content strategy, managing social channels, producing multimedia, and translating heavy topics into communication that's clear for different audiences.
I believe good communication isn't about dressing up sentences. It's about making sure people actually understand; a farmer affected by import policy, a general reader following a social issues, or a website visitor who only has a few seconds to get what's being offered.
Before this, I also spent 5 years in retail; offline, online, and e-commerce and including a year running a small kedai and matcha franchise outlet.
