What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an entry-level marketing role where I can support branded content, assist with market research and data analysis, and grow through mentoring and hands-on collaboration—while contributing strong communication, event planning, and brand-focused thinking.

I’m a Marketing student pursuing a Bachelor of Business Science with a strong foundation in Marketing Strategy, Integrated Marketing, Marketing in Africa, and Project Management. I’ve served as a class representative for BUS4026W (Marketing in Africa), acting as a liaison to communicate student concerns and support an inclusive learning environment.

I also build real-world marketing capability through volunteer work supporting a marketing team with branded content across multiple social media platforms, and collaborating with the data science department to conduct market research and data analysis for clients. Alongside this, I’ve mentored undergraduate commerce students as an EDU Commerce Mentor, and strengthened customer-facing communication and performance through a Retail Sales Representative (Contract) role.
