Summary

A strategic marketing professional with a talent for developing creative campaigns that capture attention and build meaningful connections. Experienced in B2B and B2C, I specialize in content creation, project management, and data-driven strategies that ensure campaigns are both innovative and effective. My media background enables me to craft compelling storytelling that enhances engagement and brand impact. At Lighthouse Foundation, I led marketing campaigns and fundraising events that grew the donor database by 70% and secured three major corporate partnerships. I collaborated with internal teams, external partners, and creative agencies to align campaigns with business goals. I developed unique campaign assets, worked with iconic Australian brands, transformed annual reports into compelling storytelling pieces, and executed large-scale fundraising events—most notably 4UpDay, which raised over $1 million. I also led Lighthouse’s rebrand and website redevelopment to improve user experience and brand visibility. Balancing creativity with strategy, I leverage digital marketing tools, social media, CRM automation, and audience insights to build high-performing campaigns. After maternity leave, I’m excited to bring fresh ideas, energy, and creativity to a dynamic team that values innovation, hard work, and having fun along the way.
