"True failure is the inability to try."  — Nadjellah M.

With a year and a half of experience as a communications lead, Nadjellah Mendoza breathes life into Poundforce MMA as admin and content creator.

A writer for most of her life, she honed her literary skills at RMIT’s Professional Writing and Editing Associate Degree. In this industry lauded degree, she published a short story with Bowen Street Press and was able to play a vital role as communications coordinator – overseeing social media and external relations to ensure the smooth revival of RMIT’s Odyssey Festival. With that experience she was then accepted into Visible Ink – a historic student led publication that has birthed prominent authors and industry figureheads such as Melanie Cheng and Sophie Splatt. Her role in Visible Ink as communications lead expanded on the knowledge and skills she attained as a communications coordinator; task delegation, creation of social media copies and upholding brand image.

Now, as a member of Poundforce MMA’s incredible team, she is responsible for greeting gym members and creating content for Instagram and Facebook (@poundforcemma). You can often find her manning the front desk or running around the gym filming content.

When she’s not fiddling with a camera or striking up conversations with gym members, she’s almost always surrounded by a splatter of pink items and either reading, singing or working on her novel manuscript.

What she lacks in martial arts knowledge, she makes up for with creativity, dedication and a strong desire to learn.
