A dedicated marketing professional with a graphic design background, I’ve led campaigns for global companies looking to build their brand story and increase sales in a competitive market.

I have over 15 years experience in retail POS and shopper marketing including digital and events.As an experienced client manager who handles multiple clients with competing deadlines and priorities, I’m organised, task-focused and strategic enough to manage the internal and external resources I need to get it done.I love a good challenge and I am loads of fun to work with. I’m proactive, strategic, and creative. I’m a team player and always strive to push the boundaries to get the best result for both client and agency.
