What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative environment that fosters creativity and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a dedicated marketing professional with a Bachelor of Arts in Communication from North-West University and certifications in Digital Marketing, Email Marketing, and SEO from HubSpot Academy. My experience includes working as a Project Administrator at Autism Parenting Magazine, where I successfully managed multiple marketing initiatives, optimized email campaigns, and increased newsletter open rates to 40%. My analytical skills and ability to communicate effectively with a global audience have been key to my success in this role.

Previously, I served as a Marketing Coordinator at Herotel, leading national branding and corporate social investment initiatives across South Africa. My earlier role as an Aftersales Manager at Kia Motors Lydenburg allowed me to enhance team communication and operational efficiency. I thrive in dynamic environments and am committed to delivering high-quality results while maintaining accuracy and accountability.

With a strong foundation in business management and a passion for problem-solving, I am eager to contribute to a team that values creativity and innovation. I am confident that my skills in project management tools, copywriting, and data analysis will make me a valuable asset to your organization.
