What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic role in social media marketing where I can apply my creativity and psychological insights to drive engagement and brand growth.

I am a dedicated and enthusiastic individual pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Arts with a focus on Psychology and Criminology from Murdoch University Dubai. My academic journey has equipped me with a unique understanding of human behavior, which I leverage in my professional experiences. As a Social Media Marketing intern at Giorgia Melagrana Art Studio, I developed engaging content that enhanced the artist's visibility and audience engagement. My role involved not only content creation but also strategic planning and execution of events, showcasing my ability to manage multiple tasks effectively.

In addition to my internship, I served as a Content Creator at Media Now, where I analyzed audience preferences and collaborated with diverse teams to create impactful content. My leadership experience as a Student Leader at Murdoch University allowed me to foster an inclusive environment for new students, demonstrating my commitment to community building. I am passionate about utilizing my skills in psychology to enhance marketing strategies and create meaningful connections through content.
