What I'm looking for

I am looking for tech-driven opportunities that challenge my creativity and allow for growth.

With over nine years of experience in filmmaking, I have honed my skills in screenwriting, directing, and film marketing. My journey began in the creative arts, which led me to broadcast journalism and a significant role as a Digital Research Associate with Facebook. This unique blend of experiences has fueled my passion for the digital space, where I thrive on creating impactful content.

Currently, I serve as a Marketing Manager at Deltar Properties Limited, where I oversee social media management, content creation, and website optimization. My role involves implementing innovative marketing strategies that engage audiences both online and offline. I am dedicated to leveraging technology to drive creative solutions and enhance brand visibility.

I am actively seeking opportunities that challenge my creativity and allow me to work in tech-driven environments. My goal is to contribute to projects that not only resonate with audiences but also push the boundaries of digital storytelling.
