About
Marketing, but with real people in the room.
My experience sits at the point where marketing meets people. Through Digital Marketing study, sales support, pop-up retail, events and fast-paced hospitality, I have learned how much clear communication, customer understanding and confident delivery matter.
I am open to graduate roles in marketing, brand, digital marketing, content, customer experience, events or business development, especially in teams that value energy, initiative, commercial awareness and a practical willingness to get involved.
