Maria Filomena de Sousa (Zytha)

Media Officer

Hi, my friends call me Zytha. With the rapid development of technology globally and particularly in my beloved “new” country of Timor-Leste, it inspired me to increase my knowledge in Information Technology to study a Bachelor Degree at Institute Of Business in Dili. I believe that in order to contribute to the development of our country, it is especially important to have a strong understanding and skills in Information and Communication and Technology. I successfully participated in Jenesys 2.0 Film Festival in Japan, and I also joined a film making workshop presented by Indonesian and Australian producers. I was involved in film competition that was organised by SEKOMS – “Content Creator for YouTube”. That is how I ended up working with MT in the ASTEROID program as Video Production Officer. When I first came to MT, I was surprised that all the staff were mostly youth, friendly and disciplined. I am proud to be working with the ASTEROID Team – we work very hard and we really respect each other which is so important in the workplace. I think we have all have learnt how to communicate better which helps us work well collaboratively. I am happy that I can use my passion and skills as a videographer to be able to help improving the health sector.
