Career highlights
Having completed a Bachelor of Arts degree in Media, Public Relations, and Advertising. i started my career at the onset of the pandemic and I quickly gained a wealth of industry knowledge. I am grateful for the support of my clients and team. Prior to my current role, I worked in short-term positions in events and advertising and started at Cheil in a social/digital role for Energizer and a 360 campaign for Aster. I have since moved on to the Samsung account, where I have executed a variety of successful media and influencer events, as well as three roadshows that led to consecutive Samsung best practises for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold and Flip 4 series in Dubai and Qatar, and the new S23 Series, exceeding their sales and customer engagement targets.
Guiding principles

Side hustle
i don’t really follow hustle culture, I think just having hobbies to enjoy and creating something with your hands is fulfilling, my latest interests involve sewing outfits, crocheting, working with clay and cooking meals from various cultures. I took up skateboarding and learned how to tattoo and up till last year id buzz my head and paint it like a canvas
