What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a creative, fast-paced role where I can lead social campaigns, grow community engagement, use analytics to drive decisions, manage influencers/UGC creators and continue developing professionally.

I’m a creative and people-focused social media professional who turns online interactions into genuine connections. I thrive in fast-paced environments and enjoy solving problems to grow both brands and communities.

In my role at Squid and through freelance work, I managed communities, responded to customer queries, and created weekly content across multiple brands, including video, graphics and articles. I sourced, worked with, and managed UGC creators for paid ads, contributing to significant reach and impressions.

My campaigns achieved measurable results — over 140,000 in reach, 341,000 impressions and 12,000 link clicks across two brands, and a 136.5% engagement increase in three months for a freelance client. I use analytics to make data-led decisions and maintain consistent brand voice.

I’m experienced with content calendars, community management, and campaign execution, and I’m looking to grow professionally in a role that values creativity, data-driven strategy, and direct audience engagement.
