A Little About Me

Currently residing in South Africa, I am a proficient Marketing and Communication specialist with over 10 years of experience in PR/Communications. Although my primary focus has been on PR/Communications, I have also gained two years of experience in Marketing and Advertising. In addition to this, I possess expertise in project and financial management, having managed budgets exceeding 50 million. My skillset extends to designing posters, managing social media platforms, and reviewing/editing CVs for my diverse clientele.

As for my personal life, I am an avid crossfitter who participates in weight lifting competitions. I frequently engage in hiking, traveling, and camping activities. Furthermore, I am an identical twin.
