Summary

With a solid background in marketing and project management, complemented by a wide range of hands-on experience from two years living and working in Australia, I bring strong adaptability and a clear, solution-focused mindset. Working in very different roles - from marketing automation to process support and operational on-site work - has broadened my skill set and sharpened my perspective. My mix of analytical thinking, structured working style, and creative execution helps me handle demanding tasks efficiently and in a practical way.

My time abroad was more than just a change of place: it has had a lasting impact on how I work, my mindset, and how I deal with complex situations. I am now looking for an environment where modern ways of working, clear communication, and digital processes come together - and where I can bring in my experience, drive, and fresh perspective in a targeted way.
