Name and surname: Selma MoongoAge: 23
Occupation: (and where?) Public Relations & Media Officer, at Oxygen Communications
What are some of your
hobbies? My hobbies include
reading, swimming and working out.
If you retired
tomorrow and wanted to start a wildly different second career, what would you
do? I'd probably venture into
business, event management business to be precise. It fascinates me that one is
not entirely entitled to be in the office at all times, the working hours are
flexible and income can be at any time. I find the unpredictability
amazing as when seasons seems to be dry, one is pushed to dig deeper and
find the next source of income - you are able to challenge and push yourself.
Where is your favorite
place to visit? In Namibia, it would
definitely have to be Soussusvlei because the whole idea of having a
resort/loge in the middle of the dessert is beyond wow. Beyond the borders, I
am a bit stuck on two places at (Never been there but, they are already my
favourite to visit) two different sides of the world. Santorini in Greece,
there is so much culture and beauty in their people and infrastructure. The
second would be the Caribbean island Barbados. The people, the ocean,
the accent, Rihanna. I mean, Rihanna!
Describe a personal
hero of yours. Cliché but true - my mom.
This is a woman of strength, courage and a strong spiritual belief in the Lord.
My mom has defeated Cancer more than once and that alone is what makes me look
at her in admiration, love and appreciation to still have her around.
Are you a morning
person or a night owl? I
am without a doubt a morning person. I wake up cheerful and I tend to have
music in the background when I get ready for work. In the evening, I simply
take a shower, eat and go straight to bed.. I don't play with my
sleep hours for nothing!
What’s next for you in your work? What
are you looking forward to before the end of this year? For this year I am really just looking at
networking as much as possible because my mom would always say it doesn't help
if you know someone in an organization or business environment if they don't
know you - make yourself known amongst the right people and make your name a
brand name.
What is your greatest motivation? The greatest one has to be the young people around
me that are doing well career wise. This is so because I myself am a young
individual in society who graduated not so long ago so I know and see the
struggles of even finding yourself in a pool full of already established
individuals. I find it quite motivating if at least one of us can 'defy' the
typical stereotype odds of swimming in a tank with the big fish.
If you are to point out one of your flaws, which one would it be
and why? Over caring (if that's
even a thing) - I am strong advocate for consideration of people's
feelings especially in a work environment because there are different people
from different backgrounds and a lot of emotions tend to erupt from a mere
miscommunication. I end up taking on other people's hurt and trying to fix
things knowing very well an environment can never adjust to an individual but
rather an individual to an environment.
What is your greatest quality? My hunger to learn. In any environment im in, I want
to learn something. Even in fields that have nothing to do with mine (PR), I
want to learn something. I find it as an attractive trait to have when you can
engage in many conversations and have meaningful discussions there under.
Any closing words: Thank you for having me :)
