What I'm looking for

Looking for an adaptive workplace that builds character and value for clients, where I can further my career and make a meaningful impact.

As a results-oriented marketing graduate and public relations professional, I have gained vast industry experience and knowledge in developing unique campaigns and creating effective messaging that resonates with target audiences. My areas of expertise include administration, strategic communication planning, media relations, influencer and stakeholder relations, digital marketing analytics, event management, and social media strategy.

I have excellent communication and interpersonal skills, and I work well both independently and together to achieve the company's objectives. I value developing strong, creative integrated rollouts and deep stakeholder partnerships for both emerging and existing enterprises that transcend beyond KPIs.
