Summary

I am a highly motivated and results-oriented professional with over three years of experience in recruitment, where I've developed strong expertise in stakeholder communication, relationship building, and audience-focused engagement. Across my roles, I have created engaging job advertisements across social media channels tailored to specific candidate profiles and developed branded recruitment content. I have consistently delivered solutions by understanding the needs of both clients and candidates, refining my ability to craft compelling messaging and manage multiple projects simultaneously.


Now, I am looking to transition into a marketing role where I can bring my client-centric approach, creative mindset, and strategic thinking to new challenges. I am passionate about storytelling, brand development, and audience engagement, and I am eager to apply my skills in communication, content creation, and project coordination to help deliver impactful marketing campaigns and drive business growth.
