What I'm looking for

Social Media Management, Digital Marketing Internships, Content Creation, Reception/Admin roles

Organized and detail-oriented professional with a certificate in Digital Marketing and a certification in Secretarial & Office Administration. I bring experience in administrative support, client communication, and customer-facing roles where professionalism, discretion, and adaptability were key.

Through my digital marketing training, I’ve gained a strong foundation in SEO, social media strategy, content creation, email marketing, and campaign planning using the SMART method. I’m eager to grow my experience and put my knowledge into action. I’m confident using editing tools like Adobe Lightroom and have a good understanding of data-driven marketing and audience targeting.

I’m excited to learn, contribute, and grow within the digital space. Skilled in managing schedules, handling confidential tasks, and ensuring smooth day-to-day operations, I thrive in fast-paced environments that require clear communication and reliability.

I’m passionate about continuous learning and excited to apply my growing digital marketing skills in real-world scenarios. With a helpful nature, strong interpersonal skills, and a keen eye for detail, I aim to contribute proactive support and positive energy to any team I’m part of.
