Sabina Bonnici’s Summary

I have over 10 years experience of producing and managing different types of media and communications projects across technical, design and content areas.

Having started my career working in the production of traditional media (radio, television, and film), I then moved over to project management positions within online media.

My experience positions me ideally towards projects that involve convergent media such as Internet based technology for TV, mobile, e-learning, and web-based projects.

Sabina Bonnici’s Specialties:

Project and people management across interactive media, design, audio-visual, and technical development. Business development including feasibility studies, research, audits, and account management.
