About

Creative thinking, organized execution.

I'm a communications and marketing professional who loves a good story, and the planning it takes to share one well.

Hello, I'm Minah

I'm a communications and marketing professional based in the Edmonton area. My work sits where storytelling, strategy and organization meet. I like understanding an idea well enough to explain it clearly, shaping it for the people it's meant for, and then doing the coordinating that gets it out into the world.

I studied Communication at MacEwan University, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in 2024. Along the way I reported local news as an intern at the St. Albert Gazette, wrote long-form articles on homelessness for Rural Development Network, and wrote research-based, SEO-informed creative content for Culture Shock Canada.

Since then, much of my work has been in health and mental health. At Mindbuffs, a sport and performance psychology practice, I supported mental health awareness campaigns alongside the practice's administration. At Pine Integrated Health Centre, I handled social media from strategy to publishing, working closely with practitioners. Today I'm helping build the brand of a new psychology practice, Seen Psychology, from the ground up.

Having called both Botswana and Canada home, I pay close attention to perspective: who a message is for, what they already know, and what will help it land. That curiosity shapes everything I make, from a short news brief to a month of social posts.
