TESTIMONIALS
Gavin DavidsHead of Editorial & Content / Big Project ME
Angitha worked under me for just under three years and in that time, she has grown and developed as a reporter, working on several major features for Big Project ME over time. A hard and conscientious worker, she showed a willing attitude towards to learning on the job and was always a strong team player.
Not only did she contribute to the magazine, but she was an integral part of our events, taking on the important role of conducting on the spot interviews, as well as handling social media on several occasions.
I would not hesitate to recommend her for a future role and wish her all the best with her future endeavours.
Mary SophiaAssistant Business Editor / The National UAE
I managed Angitha during her internship at Forbes Middle East, where she assisted me in producing various industry-focused special editions of the magazine. Right from the start, she exhibited a willingness to take on all sorts of tasks – regardless of the complexity of the assignments given to her. A disciplined and conscientious worker, she soon learned the ropes and was able to write feature stories and even conduct interviews individually and without supervision towards the end of her internship period at Forbes ME. I would recommend Angitha to any media house in search of a smart, young and diligent journalist. She would be an asset to any organisation she chooses to work at.
