Summary

I am an ambitious, adaptable and results-driven individual with a strong work ethic and drive to do my best in any role. Working as a Performance Manager for the past 2.5 years, most recently at D3 Digital, I have garnered a strong passion for performance marketing and thrive in a fast-paced and challenging work environment. With extensive experience in digital strategy, campaign management, presentation and reporting, client management, budget management and more, I believe I have acquired the skills needed to excel in this role. I am confident in performing both individually and in a team to achieve client goals and KPIs - winning 'D3 Collaborator of the Year' at a recent internal company awards night. As performance marketing is a continuously evolving industry, I am incredibly passionate about career growth, opportunities to upskill and the ability to master new technologies in order to further diversify my knowledge.
