About

I am a results-driven marketing leader with 8+ years across e-commerce, hospitality, real estate, and property development. I’ve built and led a 31-person team, managed paid-media budgets up to 300K AUD per month, and scaled marketplace revenue to ~40M AUD year-over-year. I excel at funnel math, multi-brand execution, and translating strategy into creative direction. I’m relocating to Brisbane in 2026 to pursue senior marketing roles across SEQ and continue driving growth with data-driven leadership.

In previous roles, I’ve bridged strategy with creative execution, implemented scalable marketing systems, and fostered cross-functional collaboration to energize brands across multiple markets.
