Collaborated with a locally-owned snowboard shop to drive customer engagement and elevate the brand’s online presence, combining expertise in marketing and a passion for outdoor sports. • Developed and executed social media strategies to increase brand visibility, creating Instagram posts and editing Reels to highlight promotions, community stories, and product updates.• Launched social media contests that boosted audience engagement and drove traffic to the new website, contributing to increased online sales and brand awareness.• Strengthened the shop’s connection to the local and global snowboarding community by crafting authentic, engaging digital content that resonated with its target audience.

I took a year and a half career break from marketing to explore new opportunities and challenge myself in a different industry. My passion for the outdoors led me to Queenstown, New Zealand, where I immersed myself in the snowboarding community and focused on developing skills beyond marketing and communications. During this time, I’ve worked closely with the snowboarding industry, gaining hands-on experience and working toward my Snowboard Instructor Level One certification. This journey has been about personal growth, stepping out of my comfort zone, and finding meaningful ways to connect with people through shared outdoor experiences—something I hope to integrate into my future career.
