Background

About Antonina Bawuah

I have prior experience in public communications, having served as a communications assistant at USAID West Africa Trade Hub in Accra, Ghana. My duties were assisting the communications and outreach coordinator, organizing company information and managing the Hub’s activities online and the content of the Hub’s website. I manipulated images for use in graphic design or on the website with graphic software programmes, assisted with logistics of the Trade Hub’s events. I also served as a public relations intern for l’Université De Nantes, during my one year study abroad programme in France. My subsequent role as Business Environment Coordinator for the USAID West Africa Trade Hub and the Business Environment for Agile Markets, has allowed me to develop skills in addition to the communications experience I had, having had to manage events logistics without supervision, support new projects with ideas, arrange meetings and follow ups and research. I am keenly aware of the importance of completing projects on time, within budget, and satisfactorily. In addition, I am accustomed to working under extreme pressure, going on work-related travel, and handling multiple projects at one time. Specialities: My strengths include adapting quickly to new environments and learning new skills, that has resulted in me adding value to each role I have undertaken. I am hard working, innovative and dynamic and an excellent team player.I am an energetic person with a strong work ethic who is not afraid of taking on projects that require learning new skills. I thrive in a professional, fast paced, structured and team-oriented environment; however I am also fully capable of working independently.
