Summary

Blending business acumen with strategic media planning, I craft campaigns that don’t just perform—they influence and convert. With a strong foundation in market expansion, partnership growth, and data-driven strategy, I’ve successfully evolved from business development to senior planner, where insight fuels innovation, and strategy drives execution.
From projects I created, which I transformed from a CSR initiative into a sustainable brand movement, to pioneering technology-driven event innovations for Golden, I specialize in turning bold concepts into reality.
