What I believe

Most campaigns fail before the first ad is even built — because the business problem was never clearly understood. I spent years running catering events and travel operations before I ever touched an ad account, and that order matters: I read the business first, then I build the marketing around it.

The road here

Every stage taught me something the last one couldn't — and each is still part of how I work today.

Early years

Travel agency operations

Started in travel-agency operations — booking logistics, client coordination, and the kind of detail work that leaves no room for guessing. This is where I learned that a good customer experience is planned, not improvised.

Mid career

Catering & event operations

Moved into overseeing large-scale catering events — managing timelines, vendors and client expectations under real pressure. This is where I started to see marketing from the other side: as the thing that brings the client in, not just the thing that makes noise.

Today

Media buying, social strategy & business strategy

Now I run paid media across Meta and Google, shape social and brand strategy for hospitality and catering businesses, and build simple, conversion-focused digital experiences — with the operational instincts from the years before still doing most of the work.
