About me
I am a recent graduate from The University of Manchester with a 2.1 in Business Management with Marketing. I am a gregarious, creative and hardworking professional with a keen eye for detail and a relentless determination to bring my very best to every job role and project I fulfil. I have a vast work experience that spans a variety of sectors and job roles, including, marketing assistance, copywriting, event management, customer service, sales, make-up artistry and photography. My work experience has provided me with the ability to work effectively both in collaborative environments and independently as a freelancer. Working in fast-paced environments has equipped me with a proactive and diligent approach to any tasks I am assigned to. I am currently seeing a Marketing Assistant role within a fast-paced, challenging, modern and sustainable company where I can utilise my marketing skills and my business acumen in order to produce excellent work that reflects the vision of the brand. I believe that my insatiable drive, highly organised approach to work and my ability to combine my intuition and rationality will make me a valuable asset within a marketing team.

    Marketing AssistantOld Granada Studios
     - Manchester, United KingdomFreelance
    During my time at Old Granada Studios I worked for multiple brands fulfilling a myriad of roles. Fundamentally I was in charge of marketing the area of Spinningfields through the social-media channels and through securing clients to create experiential events around the area. One example of this was the collaboration with the brand Vita Coco, who drew people to the area through the promotion of their beverages and a free 'beach party' - this event drew people to the spinningfields area and thus created revenue for local restaurants and bars.
