I'm a Social Media Executive and Digital Marketing Manager with 4+ years experience, who believes good marketing feels less like a pitch and more like a conversation. I’m armed with a BA in Fashion Media (Distinction in Fashion Trend Forecasting) and additional certifications in Social Media, SEO, Email Marketing, and Copywriting. Over the years I’ve helped UK, Swiss, and African brands in luxury fashion, beauty, health, medical aesthetics, tech, finance, marketing, branding and photography – across B2C, B2B, and DTC/eCommerce sectors. I bring the mix every brand needs: creativity that hooks attention, a strategy that drives results, and data that keeps it honest. I love connecting the dots between what looks good and what works, across organic and paid social campaigns, email marketing and automated workflows, SEO, social media copywriting, scripting, lead generation, event support, influencer and creator collaborations, podcast management, and brand and marketing materials design. I approach marketing like a trend forecaster – always scanning what’s next, adapting fast, and building stories that actually make people care.
