I’m a marketing manager with experience in building and growing brands, especially from my time at Mattel, where I worked on brand strategy, digital campaigns, and budget management. I love combining creativity with data to create campaigns that actually deliver results—like growing brand turnover by 40% and launching engaging social media platforms. Now I work freelance, helping clients with social media, content, and digital strategy, while also testing AI products and exploring new ways to connect with audiences. I’m always curious, hands-on, and excited to keep learning and contributing to great teams and projects.
