I'm a curious, self-driven marketer and web design professional who started freelancing by building around ten websites for small businesses with Sacre Création and launched Sacre Event, my photo booth business. I learned end-to-end digital marketing, boosted online visibility, and even ranked in Google's top 3 for the photo booth venture. During my apprenticeship at HCS Groupe, I delivered a +210% increase in website traffic and helped generate around €800,000 in quotes across projects. Based in Reims (France) and open to national and international mobility, I’m eager to join a team where I can learn, grow and contribute to small business success through practical, hands-on projects. I’m seeking a collaborative role focused on site creation and online visibility for very small businesses, craftspeople, and independents. I’m comfortable with remote work and travel and bring a mix of technical, creative, and strategic thinking to help brands stand out online. Fluent in French with professional English, I’m ready to contribute to multiple markets and support teams with end-to-end digital initiatives.
