About

Marketing Strategist | Digital Marketing & Growth Expert

I’m a results-driven Marketing Strategist and Digital Marketer with 5+ years of experience helping businesses attract the right audience, increase conversions, retain customers, and build sustainable growth.

I’ve worked with different companies and clients across various industries, developing and executing data-driven marketing strategies aligned with specific business goals. I combine strategic thinking with hands-on execution, focusing not just on running campaigns, but on understanding the customer journey and improving every stage of the marketing funnel.

My core expertise includes:

• Email Marketing: Klaviyo, Mailchimp, email campaigns, automation, flows, segmentation, customer journeys, retention, and re-engagement.

• Paid Advertising: Google Ads, campaign strategy, keyword research, audience targeting, conversion tracking, optimization, and ROI-focused performance management.

• Analytics: Google Analytics, performance tracking, conversion analysis, reporting, and using data to identify opportunities for growth.

• Digital Marketing Strategy: Marketing audits, lead generation, customer acquisition, conversion optimization, funnel strategy, audience research, positioning, and multi-channel campaigns.

I believe effective marketing is about more than individual channels. Your ads, emails, website, analytics, and customer journey should work together as one growth system. That’s why I take a holistic approach to every project—identifying what’s working, uncovering gaps, and building strategies that can be measured, optimized, and scaled.

Whether you need to improve your email marketing, generate more qualified leads, optimize Google Ads, understand your analytics, or build a complete digital marketing strategy, I bring the strategic perspective and practical experience to move the business forward.

Let’s turn your marketing efforts into a clear, measurable growth strategy.

Developed a content marketing and social media strategy for GlobalPath Education, an education consultancy helping international students with university and language school admissions in Germany, visas, accommodation, and relocation. The project focused on strengthening brand awareness, building trust with prospective students, and creating content designed to increase enquiries, enrolments, and conversions across Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and LinkedIn. I developed a structured content calendar covering educational, awareness, engagement, trust, and conversion-focused content. This included study abroad tips, university guides, visa information, student success stories, relocation advice, language school content, FAQs, and application-focused campaigns. The content strategy combined social media management, content creation, copywriting, storytelling, campaign planning, and audience-focused messaging to make the brand more informative, relatable, and conversion-focused for prospective international students.
