About

Ever since I was a little girl, I have always had a strong passion for creativity and in all honesty, I have always been a curious person to date. I still believe that my dreams could not fit in a box and that its okay. As I grew older, I traded my diaries for daily journals because I find an utterly great sense of accomplishment in checking off boxes of my to-do list. I found the perfect balance between my curiosity & my creativity side pursuing a degree in International Marketing as it allowed me a room to always learn something new every day and quenching my creative thirst. And, being an energetic & extrovert individual, it became clearer that, I was made for this role. My Master's in Business Administration allowed me a further grip into gaining advanced business skills and a chance to accelerate my career path to date; such include, the ability to quickly and accurately analyze large amounts of information and the ability to develop smart solutions to business problems. It goes without saying, am a vibrant, ambitious, extroverted, goal getter and a dream chaser with an impeccable sense of fashion. Who absorbs energy from experiencing new things, Traveling to new places, meeting new people, experiencing new cultures and learning more about the world around me. My potential to learn something new lies in every conversation with every person I have met and those yet to meet in all my upcoming endeavors. My core focuses of interest include, Content marketing, creative writing, sales operations, marketing strategy, content management, web designing, strategic negotiations, marketing research, social media marketing, customer handling and having the ability to carry on a conversation with a radiant smile.
