What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic role that fosters creativity and collaboration, where I can leverage my marketing expertise to drive impactful communication strategies and contribute to organizational success.

I am an accomplished communication and marketing professional with extensive experience in office administration, client management, and strategic marketing. My journey began with a Bachelor of Arts in Media Studies from the University of Namibia, where I specialized in Public Relations and Sociology. I have honed my skills through various roles, including my current position as Events/Marketing Director at Dr. Sydney Memorial College, where I lead a team of 20 marketing professionals to enhance brand visibility and stakeholder engagement.

Throughout my career, I have developed and executed comprehensive marketing strategies, designed promotional materials, and managed budgets for events and activities. My commitment to fostering collaboration and productivity within my team has resulted in successful campaigns and initiatives. I am passionate about creating impactful communication strategies that resonate with diverse audiences, and I am eager to bring my expertise to a new organization where I can contribute to its growth and success.
