Meet Sylvester
I am Sylvester, a person that strives for new knowledge in both work and life. As a graduate of Criminology and Security, I am looking to be part of an analytical job that could put my passion for writing and what I have learned into use. Having graduated from a Criminology degree, I am analytical and capable of viewing a topic through various perspectives to understand how it came about, where it may lead, and what are some possible ways of handling it. With a Diploma with Merit in Mass Communication, I am proficient in writing creatively for narrative purposes or concise and factually for journalism. I am capable of working independently or with a team as well. |
