What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment where I can leverage my skills in brand development and operations to drive meaningful impact.

I'm a dedicated professional with a passion for brand development and relationship management. As part of the founding team at a pioneering company focused on material science and software for the circular economy in textiles, I have honed my skills in creative problem-solving and strategic operations. My experience spans various roles, including community management and media operations, where I have successfully fostered connections and enhanced customer experiences.

In my current role as a Community Manager at TechArtista, I lead initiatives to improve our online presence and branding strategy, ensuring a cohesive experience for our tenants and clients. My background in media and event production, coupled with my ability to engage diverse audiences, has allowed me to thrive in dynamic environments. I am committed to leveraging my skills to contribute to a talented team and drive impactful results.
