Career highlights
I am at heart, a storyteller with a passion for Marcom and everything millennial. I am passionately outspoken, hardworking and friendly. This has led me to build some wonderful relationships with media, clients and colleagues. In less than a year I have grown into my role and been promoted from an executive to senior executive. Moreover, over a year ago, I also discovered a new talent within myself as a podcast co-host on The Matrix Green Pill podcast. And podcasting has started off as a whole new adventure and taught me a lot of new things. I have been part of over 5 PR award-winning campaigns.
Guiding principles
Adaptability. I thrive on feedback and do not always look at criticism negatively. I personally take criticism well and have adapted and evolved into a better being using that feedback. Another principle that drives me is fostering respect in the workplace irrespective of gender, designation, skill level or background.
Side hustle
I don’t really have a side hustle as such, but I personally enjoy making gifts and planning events and parties as it brings me joy to make each celebration special. I am a sucker for people’s smiles!
