What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining marketing, education and mental-health advocacy where I can teach, design communications, lead outreach and train teams in a collaborative, community-focused organisation.

I am a marketing lecturer and mental health advocate with over a decade of experience across marketing, public relations and education.

As Head of Marketing & Public Relations at myChef (2013–2017) I led media relations, branding strategies and large-scale campaigns recognized by the Brand Laureate for Most Creative Strategies and Campaigns, and I now teach Principles of Marketing at University Teknologi Malaysia while mentoring diploma students in Early Childhood Education.

I volunteer on MIASA's Crisis Team providing crisis intervention, trauma care and outreach, and hold certifications in counselling children & adolescents, trauma-care & crisis management, Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Train the Trainer; I empower learners and communities through applied marketing, counselling and training.
