What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a marketing role where I can blend psychology-informed consumer insights with content creation, branding, and social media—while building customer experiences through clear storytelling and detail-oriented execution.

I’m a marketing graduate with a psychology background, bringing a strong understanding of consumer behavior and relationship-building into every customer interaction. I’m passionate about content creation, branding, and social media—turning research and storytelling into meaningful experiences for diverse audiences.

Across hospitality and education roles, I’ve delivered detail-oriented service in fast-paced environments, built guest relationships through engaging explanations, and supported teams with clear, professional documentation. In marketing coursework, I evaluated a fine dining restaurant’s social media strategy by researching target audiences, brand positioning, and customer engagement approaches to recommend ways to strengthen visibility and connection.
