What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters creativity, collaboration, and growth opportunities in a dynamic environment.

With over 6 years of experience as a Strategic Social Media Manager, I excel in managing multi-platform content and growing digital communities. My expertise lies in fusing strategy, storytelling, and design to drive engagement and elevate brand visibility across media, tech, and lifestyle sectors. I have successfully increased community engagement by 110% and achieved a remarkable 6x increase in reach through targeted strategies.

Throughout my career, I have forged key partnerships with industry leaders, directed impactful campaigns, and mentored content writers to produce high-performing content. My recent role as Head of Content and Digital Media at Giggles On The Rocks allowed me to lead a content strategy that resulted in significant community growth and engagement. I am passionate about creating compelling narratives that resonate with audiences and drive brand success.
