What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role that fosters creativity and innovation, allowing me to leverage my skills in digital marketing and business management while contributing to impactful projects.

I am a dedicated professional with over 7 years of experience in Digital Marketing, Business Management, and Relationship Management. My academic background in International Business, complemented by the prestigious Tan Sri Dato Sri Paduka Limkokwing Leadership Award, has equipped me with the skills to effectively manage corporate affairs and stakeholder relationships, especially during transitional periods.

As the Founder and Managing Director of AVASBO PTY LTD, I lead a social enterprise aimed at empowering young entrepreneurs in rural Ngamiland. My role as Co-Founder and Client Relationship Manager at Ayzont Interactive has further honed my ability to build long-term client relationships and deliver strategic value. I am passionate about fostering creativity and collaboration, ensuring that projects meet quality standards and are delivered on time.
