MARY-CLAIRE UKAH’S PROFESSIONAL PORTFOLIO

About Me

Growing up, I wanted to become a journalist. I was always excited every time my dad came home with a newspaper in his hand because after dinner, I got to play the role of a news reporter with my cousin and I hoped that one day, this dream of mine was going to become a reality. I started the journey to actualizing my dream of becoming a journalist as I interned at one of the top radio stations in Lagos, Nigeria and during the process of my internship, I discovered Social media management and I knew that this was where I was meant to be. I began my professional journey in 2016 as a social media manager and Public Relations assistant and have since worked on a number of solo and collaborative projects. With 6+ years of experience working in the industry as a content creator, Social Media Manager, and Public Relations Assistant, I am passionate about bringing life to brands, helping clients skyrocket their business on socials and connecting with clients and the brands they represent. Throughout my life, I have learned that effective communication is at the core of any successful leader and organization and as a social media specialist and communications professional I spend everyday learning new skills and competencies to help brands and clients achieve their best result.

Why Social Media?

Becoming a social media manager wasn't just a job choice—it was like finding my superpower in the digital world. Imagine being able to tell cool stories, start fun conversations, and bring people together, all through social media! Every day is like an adventure where I get to create awesome stuff and see how people react to it. It's not just about posting pictures or writing captions; it's about making magic happen online. And guess what? I'm here to make sure every scroll you make on your phone or computer is worth it!
