Summary

As a Bachelor of Commerce student majoring in Marketing and Management, I am passionate about brand development, digital outreach, and community engagement. My hands-on experience in hospitality and volunteer event coordination has honed my ability to represent organizations professionally, and connect with diverse audiences. In addition to customer service, I have created engaging digital content and presentations using Canva, supporting collaborative team projects, and university initiatives. I am eager to leverage my customer service, communication, digital skills, and writing skills, which would foster community engagement, visibility, and ensure high-quality content.
