What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to apply my marketing skills in a dynamic environment, focusing on digital strategies and customer engagement.

I am a dedicated second-year Marketing student at the University of Johannesburg, currently honing my skills in digital marketing and customer relationship management. My hands-on experience as an Avon representative has allowed me to excel in sales, where I successfully exceeded sales targets by achieving 100% performance in a recent project. This role has not only sharpened my communication and persuasion skills but also deepened my understanding of customer engagement strategies.

In addition to my sales experience, I have developed a strong foundation in advertising, SEO, and social media marketing. I have successfully managed an online store for Avon products, utilizing Google tools to enhance visibility and engagement, resulting in significant customer interactions. My coursework in Basic Accounting and Personal Selling complements my practical experience, allowing me to blend creativity with analytical skills to drive impactful marketing strategies.
