What I'm looking for
I’m a digital communications specialist with 9 years across a global creative agency, a state-owned bank, a national public institution and several digital startups. My strength is turning complex, dry topics into content people actually want to read.
In my current role I lead day-to-day social media and content for Indonesia’s Ministry of Law. I grew its Instagram from 275,000 to 858,000 followers, launched its TikTok account (now 79,800+ followers) and oversee 390+ content assets a year across six platforms. I also lead video programs, including a talk show series that drew 1.5M+ YouTube views, and my team’s work won two Gold awards at the PR Indonesia Awards 2026.
Earlier, I co-developed a financial planning brand campaign at Bank BTN that the bank still runs, and started my career at Saatchi & Saatchi working with multinational brands. On the side, I’ve led content for an online marketplace and mentored 830+ professionals in digital marketing and social media strategy.
I’m looking for remote roles in content, brand and social media strategy with teams that care about clear, honest storytelling.
