About

I am from Cape Town and I'm an experienced marketing professional, with 12 years’ experience in the Marketing Industry. I hold a Social Science undergraduate degree and a postgraduate diploma in Marketing Management, from UCT, a diploma in Events Management from CPUT, a Copywriting for Online Marketing short course from Get Smarter as well as a certificate in Social Media Management from Udemy.com. I am also in the process of completing some additional online courses in order to boost my knowledge.

I began my career in the publishing industry at RamsayMedia working on a total of two publications. My primary function while working at Getaway Magazine was to manage the various promotions for the magazine and assist on the major annual events that were hosted by the magazine. I moved on to the company, Korbitec (now owned by Lexis Nexis) and was responsible for the marketing coordination of the Korbitec business which later led to me managing one of the products from a marketing perspective. In short, I was responsible for the campaign, digital marketing and social media management of the product. 

More recently I joined a Rawson Properties franchise, initially as a Rental Partner but I saw a great need for the franchise to have a dedicated marketing person since the franchise is the top in the country and since my background was appropriate I put forward a proposal to manage the marketing within the franchise. I created the role from scratch and even though it has been a challenge, I can see the positive difference it has made to the team and the franchise in general, additionally, I have enjoyed coming up with many new ideas and solutions to problems in the process. I manage the office's Instagram and Facebook pages which includes creating the posts using Canva, managing the scheduling, the general admin of the pages etc. as well as the management of the marketing within the office and more.
