About

I recently graduated from EHL Hospitality Business School with a Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Business Management, specialising in Advanced Marketing and Luxury. In September 2026, I will begin an MSc in Management at Bayes Business School in London. Throughout my studies and professional experiences, I have developed a strong background in client experience, communications, events, and relationship management. Most recently, I completed a six-month internship as an Internal Events Assistant at Hermès International in Paris, where I contributed to the organisation of internal events, inaugurations, and employee engagement initiatives across the maison. Alongside this experience, I have worked for Hermès in Switzerland and Singapore, welcoming clients and delivering exceptional service in fast-paced and international environments. These roles have allowed me to develop strong interpersonal skills, attention to detail, and a deep appreciation for creating meaningful experiences. Having lived and worked across Europe and Asia, I enjoy collaborating with people from diverse backgrounds and thrive in dynamic, international environments. I am particularly interested in communications, events, client experience, marketing, and brand-related roles.
