What I'm looking for

I seek a senior communications role where I can lead employee engagement, shape employer brand, drive change communications, and use data and creative content to deliver measurable cultural and business impact.

I am a dynamic communications leader with 7+ years of experience driving internal and marketing campaigns, employee engagement, and brand storytelling at global firms. I deliver data-driven strategies, DEI initiatives, executive communications, and digital content that led to a 65% lift in engagement and contributed to Great Place to Work certifications.

I have led transformation communications, employee advocacy, and employer branding programs across multinational organizations, built communication governance frameworks, and launched high-visibility campaigns and events that strengthened talent pipelines and brand visibility. I combine stakeholder alignment, change management, and creative content production using tools such as Canva and Camtasia to produce measurable impact in fast-paced environments.
