What I'm looking for

I seek a strategic marketing or communications role where I can lead digital campaigns, amplify impact-driven brands, collaborate cross-functionally, and grow into broader brand leadership.

I am a marketing and communications strategist with experience across digital marketing, internal and external communications, branding, PR, CSI/CSR coordination, and stakeholder engagement. I combine newsroom storytelling roots with corporate communications and digital strategy to build campaigns that inspire action.

In my current role as Marketing and Communications Officer at Goldrush Group, I develop and execute communication strategies, manage digital marketing and website updates, create press releases and newsletters, and coordinate CSI initiatives. I also bring hands-on experience in campaign execution, content production, and community management from freelance consulting.

My background includes roles in supervision, reception, surveillance, and a news writer internship, which have strengthened my operational discipline, stakeholder relations, and editorial rigour. I hold a Bachelor of Commerce in Marketing Management and am completing Honours in Marketing Management.

I am passionate about marketing that amplifies marginalized voices, delivers measurable impact, and fosters meaningful connections; I deliver strong copywriting, digital strategy implementation, and practical design skills (Canva) to support brand storytelling and growth.
