What I'm looking for

I am seeking a dynamic role in marketing where I can leverage my skills and grow professionally.

I am a proactive and adaptable marketing student with a strong foundation in copywriting, marketing communications, and creative writing. Currently, I am completing a 6-month internship at an online travel agency where I have honed my skills using tools like Amadeus and QuickBooks. My reliability and approachable nature have allowed me to consistently exceed expectations in high-pressure environments.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated my ability to manage challenging situations and customer interactions effectively. My experience as a Junior Travel Consultant at 2 GoTrips involved creating comprehensive travel packages, including a notable proposal worth R1.5 million. I am also Amadeus Certified, showcasing my commitment to excellence in the travel industry.

With a background in various roles, including bartending and number plate verification, I have developed a diverse skill set that enables me to adapt easily to changing circumstances. I am passionate about motivating teams and contributing to a collaborative work environment.
