What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a role leading paid media strategy and execution where I can drive measurable ROI, mentor juniors, work with cross-channel campaigns, and continue growing in programmatic and performance media.

I am a highly organized, self-motivated paid media specialist with proven experience managing six-figure client budgets across programmatic, search and social channels. I combine technical execution (DV360, CM360, Google Ads, social platforms) with data-led optimisation to lower CPC/CPA and improve campaign KPIs while mentoring junior team members.

I achieved a distinction in a Diploma in Digital Marketing while working full-time, earned scholarships and invitations to senior digital masterminds, and have led end-to-end paid media strategy and delivery for agencies and freelance clients, consistently delivering measurable results and cost efficiencies.
