Professional Profile
My 7-year experience in the field of marketing and project management
allowed me to develop strong management skills, exceptional relationship
and customer service skills as well as marketing and communication skills.
Writing remains one of my greatest passion that I managed to nurture in the
past few years working for publishing houses and online platforms providing
original contents. As well-demonstrated by my current position as Assistant
Manager for International Marketing and Recruitment at University of Kuala
Lumpur (Malaysia), I am a very open-minded, versatile and enthusiast
person, always ready to face new challenges and get the best from every
experience.
