Summary

I am a strong communicator with a keen eye for detail, a passion for storytelling, and a collaborative mindset. I have already gained hands-on experience in social media management, content creation, and event promotion. I can grow engagement and align messaging with brand identity through targeted digital campaigns (see below). My life experience to date, together with my academic studies in Psychology, have led me to desire a career in digital marketing. I am eager to build on existing skills and gain deeper experience in strategy, analytics, and brand development within a team
