ELLEN MAPONGA

Committed to community welfare, I've dedicated years to meaningful work in prison ministry for over a decade and community development for more than 13 years. In 2017, a personal tragedy sparked my active involvement in mental health advocacy after losing a dear friend to suicide. This deeply personal experience ignited a passion to address mental health issues and reduce societal stigma. Beyond my community-focused endeavours, I possess a diverse skill set. As a self-published author (of Dear Self: Feelings & Faith and Generations) and adept in marketing, I bring a multifaceted approach to my efforts. I have exceptional people skills. Quick and efficient learner who does not have the word 'impossible' in my vocabulary. Creative and able to adapt well to new environments with some vodka. (Ok that was joke). Honestly, I believe my strengths are that I focus on tasks with all my heart and love to reach my goals. I love people which makes it easy for me to work in teams. I also enjoy my own company so when I'm alone I push my work like a beast of burden. I am honest in my dealings, I am compassionate I really love to do community work, seeing people happy blesses my soul. My weaknesses are that sometimes I go into a shell and I suppose those around me find me as an introvert. I like to take time to discover who I am and what my likes and dislikes are, I usually do this when I take a week off social media every month. I do not intend to disappear on the job. I am well versed in communication, writing, editing, copywriting, sales, advertising, research, administration and personal assistant duties. Truth is I am willing to learn new things. Dynamic Director oversees every facet of production with strong project management and decision-making skills. Brings comprehensive knowledge of [Type] production writing, planning and technical operations. Skilled at coordinating production plans and personnel resources to complete work under tight deadlines.
