About

I aspire to a career in the marketing sector. My passion for entrepreneurship and creative mindset developed throughout high school which led to my current studies in Business and Marketing at Flinders University. I am extending my understanding of the marketing industry, specifically sports marketing, through my placement opportunity I am currently undertaking with Port Adelaide Football Club. Experience working freelance as a User-Generated Content Creator alongside my Industry Projects in digital, social media and sports marketing have given me a valuable opportunity to learn from industry experience and apply my marketing knowledge in various professional capacities. I successfully manage part-time work in a fast paced retail setting, with my full time studies, reflecting my high level organisational abilities. To further my passion for travel I participated in an exchange semester in Linz, Austria. During this experience I was able to deepen my business and marketing studies at Johannes Kepler University, especially focusing on the global context within these sectors.
