Summary

I am a Marketing and Merchandising professional with 4 years experience and a keen interest in marketing strategies and campaign development. I am a creative and hard-working team-player, with a personal passion for movies, literature and TV.

I have diverse experience coordinating advertising campaigns and partnering with sales and development teams to ensure on-time project delivery and maintaining successful supplier relationships.

I have completed a Bachelor of Commerce majoring in marketing, and more recently been developed through an internal emerging leaders' program. I am eager for a new role and opportunity to pair my professional experience with personal interest areas.
