What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to blend creativity with strategy in a dynamic environment.

I am a creative and strategic thinker with a background in film and storytelling, currently pursuing a BCom in Marketing part-time online. My experience spans script writing and production, where I have honed my ability to craft compelling narratives that engage audiences and drive action. My passion for branding and communication fuels my desire to create content that converts, making me a valuable asset for any brand.

With three years of experience editing in Adobe Photoshop, Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Lightroom, I have developed a unique skill set that allows me to think visually, emotionally, and creatively. Growing up on film sets and working in script development has equipped me with the tools to write copy that captures attention and drives engagement. My fresh, digital-native perspective aligns with evolving online trends and audience behaviors, ensuring that I can contribute effectively in today’s fast-paced marketing landscape.
