What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role in digital marketing that fosters creativity and growth.

I am a dedicated Full Stack Media Buyer with a strong background in digital advertising and e-commerce. My journey began at Ryerson University, where I earned a Business Administration Certificate, followed by specialized training in media buying. I have honed my skills in various roles, including my current position at WorldsApart Media, where I leverage my expertise to drive successful advertising campaigns.

Throughout my career, I have worked with diverse organizations, from teaching languages at iTutorGroup to providing telephone services at Livexchange. My experience in the Canadian Forces as a Tank Driver has instilled in me a strong sense of discipline and teamwork. I am fluent in English and have a working knowledge of Spanish, which allows me to connect with a broader audience.
