01 / About

Curious about people.
Interested in brands.

I have a Bachelor of Social Science in Psychology and Industrial Psychology and am studying towards a Postgraduate Diploma in Management (Marketing). My interest in brand strategy comes from understanding how people think, what they value and how they connect with brands. Through my work with London Rides, I contribute to marketing while helping manage the practical demands of a business. I want to use insight into people to help brands make better decisions.

Good thinking.

01 — IN PRACTICE

Creative marketing at London Rides

A scholar transport business needs clear communication and a consistent, trustworthy image. I create promotional flyers and posters in Canva, communicate transport information and help organise arrangements.

Contributed to promoting the business and maintaining a consistent brand image.

02 — ACADEMIC PROJECT

Turning consumer insight into strategy

For a consumer behaviour and brand strategy assignment, I developed and presented an idea for a hypothetical restaurant experiencing low foot traffic, with the aim of attracting new customers and retaining existing ones.

Received positive feedback and earned one of the highest marks in the class.

03 — TRUST & RESPONSIBILITY

Creating structure as an au pair

I independently managed multiple children's routines, including school schedules, meals, appointments, activities and overnight care when needed, while balancing responsibilities alongside my studies.
