What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role in online marketing, data entry, writing and editing or transcribing.

I am an events and marketing professional with a Bachelor of Arts in Literature and Political Science from the University of Papua New Guinea and a track record across hospitality, aviation procurement, and corporate marketing. I currently serve as Club Events Manager at The Cosmopolitan PNG, where I manage social media, advertising, press relations, member communications, venue bookings and live events.

Previously I worked as Executive Assistant and Group Marketing Associate at The Remington Group and as a Purchasing Officer at PNG Air, gaining experience in procurement, inventory control, executive support, content creation and multi-channel marketing. I have produced radio and newspaper copy, coordinated media buys, organized press conferences and supervised marketing teams to deliver campaigns and events.

I bring excellent customer service, strong communication skills in English and Pidgin, proficiency with Microsoft Office, Canva, HubSpot, Mailchimp and Vision6, and a practical ability to lead teams, solve problems and maintain client relationships. I am motivated to contribute my organizational and marketing skills to a reputable organization focused on high standards and impactful events.
