About

Professional summary

I am a recent MSc Communication Science graduate specialising in Persuasive Communication. I combine academic research expertise with practical experience in digital communication, social media, content creation, and audience analysis.

I am interested in technology, digital media, AI, and the ways online communities interact with brands and information. My work focuses on translating audience, consumer, and behavioural insights into clear and practical communication recommendations.

Through research projects and my role as a lab research assistant, I have gained experience coordinating behavioural studies, managing participant sessions, organising data, and analysing responses to digital information and communication formats.

I have also created and managed social media content across Instagram, TikTok, X, and Facebook. I use reach and engagement data to evaluate content performance, improve communication formats, and tailor messaging to different audiences.

I am analytical, curious, and comfortable managing multiple priorities independently. I enjoy collaborating with international and multidisciplinary teams and am open to international relocation.
