About me

I am a proactive self-starter, with a problem-solving mindset which benefits from my cross-functional experience in strategy, operations, leadership, sales development and negotiation alongside strong media, communication and editing skills. A creative, detail-oriented professional with a talent for project management and commercial decision-making, I am intellectually curious and looking to utilise my skills.
