I bring a background in International Studies, postgraduate marketing training and hands-on experience working with people in demanding environments.
01 / About
I'm studying towards a Postgraduate Diploma in Management (Marketing) after completing a BA in International Studies at Stellenbosch University. What draws me to marketing is understanding people: how they behave, what influences their choices and how those choices differ across markets.
I've explored these questions through an Ocean Basket market-entry research project focused on Malaysia. Outside university, working in high-end hospitality and event accreditation has given me experience dealing directly with people in fast-paced settings. Soccer and MMA are important parts of my life beyond class.
