What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my project management skills in a dynamic environment, fostering community engagement and cultural development.

I hold a BA in Communication and an MA in Cultural Development, driven by a strong passion for contributing to civil society. My professional journey has equipped me with diverse experiences in advertising, museum education, events, and localization. I excel in account and event management, project coordination, and editorial oversight, ensuring that every project I undertake meets the highest standards.

Throughout my career, I have coordinated humanitarian aid projects and supported resource development efforts, promoting community engagement. My role as a Project Manager at KAG has allowed me to manage client relationships and oversee localization projects for major clients like BBC and Netflix. I am committed to delivering quality results while fostering collaboration among teams and stakeholders.
