What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster creativity, collaboration, and growth in a dynamic environment.

I am a dedicated marketing and events manager with extensive experience in driving successful marketing strategies and managing high-profile events. Currently, I lead the marketing efforts at Spectrum Sports, where I oversee the execution of campaigns and manage relationships with athletes and brand ambassadors. My role involves creating engaging content for multiple platforms and ensuring our online presence is impactful, particularly as we prepare for the World Aquatics Championships 2025.

In addition to my current position, I have a rich background in event management and sales, having worked with MediaComz International where I coordinated industry conferences and developed social media campaigns that significantly boosted engagement. My experience as a financial consultant further honed my sales skills, allowing me to achieve top rankings and deliver compelling presentations. I thrive in collaborative environments and am passionate about leveraging my creativity and communication skills to drive results.
