About

I'm a product marketing strategist passionate about building data-informed, customer-first solutions across the consumer retail landscape. With a Master of Science in Management from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, I bring a structured approach to marketing, product management, and innovation. Certified in Generative AI and proficient in tools like SQL, Tableau, and Google Analytics, I’m passionate about using data-driven insights to design impactful retail experiences. Recognised for my thesis on shopper behaviour and retail psychology in modern retail laid the foundation for my ongoing focus on blending analytics with consumer empathy to drive meaningful business outcomes. Recently, I’ve also built AI agents to automate SEO strategy and personalise campaign execution—advancing how technology powers smarter decisions in consumer retail. Whether launching a new product or scaling ad tech initiatives, I thrive at the intersection of data, design, and demand.
