  Card Factory

  Jan 2015 - Jan 2019

  Retail Assistant

  I have had a part-time job for the past three and a half years alongside my studies as a sales assistance in the Card Factory. I believe this demonstrates strong time-management skills and a strong work ethic as I balance the two, alongside other extra-curricular activities.

  Clean the seas please

  Jan 2018 - Jan 2019

  Social Media Manager

  I worked closely with the charity whose goal is to protect marine life by encouraging the clean-up of the sea and beaches/sea-side areas across the southern region of England. The charity relies on sponsorships and donations in order to invest in technologies that will aid their mission. In order to generate marketing ideas that would help gain attraction from all ages, I was tasked with coming up with an idea that would be fun and engaging. I took the time to brainstorm and came up with the idea of using fictional characters that everyone knows and loves (for example Spongebob Squarepants) who “live” in the sea. In this way, these characters become ambassadors for marine life, acting as if dolphins or whales etc. are their neighbours. This will allow us to pull in characters that would appeal to adults as they remind them of their childhood, as well as new characters that would appeal to children. These ambassadors could then also be at events that we would host to generate a buzz. The result was excellent; we managed to increase awareness for a very worthy cause. Daha az göster

  SEAS-Socially Engaged Art Salon

  Jan 2019 - May 2020

  Marketing Consultant

  This experience required me and my team to think of creative marketing strategies to gain the attention of the business' demographic. I put forward a strategy of focusing on promoting photos from past events on social media to help build a social media presence for their specific demographic; this could then also be used to promote future events too. This strategy was adopted and helped the business attract clients for future events. In addition, I helped the team manage and stick to deadlines to help deliver the overall project. Daha az göster

  UiPath

  Jan 2021 - May 2021

  Digital Marketing Consultant

  The consultancy experience allowed me to apply both theoretical knowledge of marketing and digital technology and develop my skills of creativity and communication. I’d worked with three other students in project team set by the client to complete the main goal of ‘how can remote working employees from different departments work efficiently, when in engaging in collaborative cross functional teamworking for projects.’ The objective of this project was about identifying ways on how the workforce can be efficient with their productivity in remote working environment and avoiding work burnout. Therefore, I’d presented the idea for the client to create a private/intranet social media account for employees to access content on activities for downtime, I believed this idea was beneficial for UiPath to help their employees who need essential downtown remote working as secondary research revealed negative impacts of remote working towards employee’s mental health.
