Summary
With more than 17-years in communications and marketing, I've spent my career navigating large, global organizations and helping them tell their stories effectively. My strength lies in managing complex projects and events such as, but not limited to, International Motor Shows, International Press Tours and Big Brand Launches.
I have frequently served as a reliable partner to senior leaders across the Asia Pacific region, handling both internal and external communications, by bringing diverse teams together. I am passionate about the ever-evolving digital world and always eager to learn, a mindset strengthened by strategic thinking and network from my MBA program.
