About me

Hi! I’m Sundus☀️ A recent graduate, I have started working as a Communications Assistant for a non-profit organisation. I am passionate about social change, so working with a charity that works towards this is very important to me. I am also working freelance as a writer/journalist and covering important topics I am passionate about such as identity & women’s rights. I previously interned at The Guardian, and built a number of journalistic skills. I am currently a Journo Resources Fellow, where I receive tailored training in journalism. I’ve also just been accepted onto the I Like Networking Group Mentoring Scheme! I am open to commissions in journalism, copywriting and any creative writing opportunities. I’m also interested in social media management- its only right that I am, as a Gen-Z! If you’d like to see my portfolio, here it is: https://muckrack.com/sundus-abdi
