What I'm looking for

I seek a digital marketing or social media role where I can grow audiences with data-driven content, lead cross-cultural campaigns, and collaborate in a creative, impact-focused team.

I am a creative professional with a strong foundation in digital marketing, media production, and project coordination, combining an MA in Media Studies and a BSc in Mathematics to deliver data-informed storytelling. I have driven measurable growth — for example, leading content that increased TikTok reach from 26K to 2.4M+ views and grew followers 163% in six months — and I thrive on turning trends into audience engagement.

My experience spans freelance creative roles, trainee positions coordinating with global headquarters, and hands-on festival operations, where I developed stakeholder management and cross-cultural communication skills. I am motivated to create strategic, visually driven campaigns and manage projects that connect brands with diverse international audiences.
