Available to hire
11 years, many twists and turns. I started my career in customer service and operations, absorbing the beating heart of every business. From there I transitioned into marketing (fun fact, I started my university career in marketing but switched to nutrition), and grew my passion for engaging an audience.
Content and design are at the heart of my skillset, having worked on re-brands and website builds at Jane Plan and Big Table Group. In my most recent role at Cutter & Squidge I transformed our CRM and Social design and content strategy, refocusing the brand as fresh, fun and relevant.
