Strategic PR & Media Specialist with a strong track record of elevating brand visibility, managing high‑stakes communications and supporting stakeholders in dynamic, fast‑paced environments. I bring over four years of experience driving integrated PR campaigns, securing extensive earned and paid media coverage, and partnering with cross‑functional teams to deliver consistent, high‑quality communications. My background and studies in Communication & Media from Budapest provided hands‑on exposure to television production workflows, live studio operations, and film creation. Through university seminars, I followed the production of multiple TV shows and international film projects-sometimes featuring Hollywood actors- gaining a rare behind‑the‑scenes understanding of the entertainment ecosystem. I completed my internship at the Hungarian National Television, where I worked closely with on‑air talent and production teams, strengthening my confidence and professionalism around celebrities and public figures. After transitioning into the corporate environment, I ultimately reconnected with my passion for media, leading PR, storytelling, social engagement, paid media coordination and high‑visibility communication initiatives. I thrive in roles that demand discretion, creativity, operational excellence and a natural ease in supporting talent and high‑profile stakeholders.
