Working with Mercy as my direct supervisor was seamless and an absolute pleasure on the Changemakers Kenya and Tanzania projects. She was always open to my ideas and gave me clear and straightforward instructions on what was needed. She took her work as a producer and project management graciously. As a video editor and camera lady, I especially appreciated her creative skill in bringing video concepts to life. I saw her excel in her responsibilities. 👭 Engaged the scholars and inspired them to be continue chasing their dreams. 📜 Responsible for the project from initiation to completion. 🎥 Supervising and managing video and photography projects. I'd highly recommend Mercy for any communications and advocacy projects and would love to work with her moving forward.
