What I'm looking for

I am seeking a communications or marketing role where I can lead PR campaigns, boost brand visibility, collaborate cross-functionally, and drive measurable growth in a mission-driven team.

I am a dynamic Public Relations and Marketing professional with over five years' experience building brand visibility, stakeholder trust, and business growth through strategic communication and campaign execution.

I have driven measurable results across digital and offline channels — increasing social media engagement by 40%, boosting student enrollment inquiries by 25%, and improving internal communication effectiveness by 40% — while producing clear, persuasive content and managing events and office operations.

I bring strong skills in copywriting, stakeholder engagement, CRM and Microsoft Office tools, and proven experience coordinating cross-functional teams to win clients and streamline processes, and I am committed to delivering impact through data-informed, audience-first communications.
