What I'm looking for

I am seeking a marketing role where I can apply my event coordination and marketing support experience, learn digital marketing, work collaboratively, and grow within a dynamic team.

I am a highly organised Communications graduate with hands-on experience supporting marketing operations, administration, and event coordination. I completed a Bachelor of Arts in Communication Science (Cum Laude) from the University of South Africa.

In my most recent role as a Marketing Intern at Momentum Group (March 2024–March 2025), I supported campaign execution, coordinated events, managed supplier relationships, and prepared marketing collateral and reports to support managers and consultants.

Earlier roles in retail and hospitality strengthened my customer service, multitasking, and teamwork capabilities, and I supported training of new staff while maintaining high service standards under pressure.

I bring strong communication skills, proficiency in MS Office, a basic understanding of digital marketing, attention to detail, and a proactive attitude, and I am eager to contribute to and grow within a dynamic marketing team.
