Notes:

3.5 years in HR before moving into marketing/ad agency account management. Currently have 8 years of full-time work experience, nearly 9 by time of matriculation.

Extensive international experience and exposure, both with clients and also relocating to Australia and being sponsored for a role there. I have worked for large, multinational marketing organisations as well as a successful UK startup.

Current responsible for $1.3m+ worth of billing/revenue annually - part of a small team that secured a landmark client win too worth $170k too. Extensive experience across print/retail/digital/experiential marketing with large, multinational brands.

Previous HR exp includes establishment of an office in MENA region. Policy creation and development during COVID as well as leading a landmark office move.

Recently created my own RTD alcohol brand including product development, branding and packaging design. I own the IP to the product including a recipe - didn't pursue commercial launch due to level of investment required, because it didn't make sense alongside starting an MBA.

Based in UK and went to UK undergrad but did year abroad at a reputable U.S. university and had a 3.43 GPA there. Conversational (B1) in French and native English speaker. Not too many extras to highlight, but proudest achievement was fundraising $2000 in 2025 for a cause I deeply care about.
