ABOUT ME

Marketing that earns attention,
not just impressions.

I have been in the digital marketing industry for more than six years — passionate about social media strategy, content creation and inbound marketing. My work spans team leadership and customer relationship management across both traditional and digital media.

Arriving in Dublin as an international student during the COVID-19 pandemic was one of the biggest challenges I have faced — and one that shaped my resilience and adaptability.

Outside of work, I love exploring new cultures and food, and I consider myself a hands-on “DIY” problem-solver who enjoys fixing things from scratch.

Globally minded

From Dhaka to Dublin — I love exploring new cultures and food, and I bring that curiosity into how I read audiences.

Hands-on DIY

A natural problem-solver who enjoys fixing things from scratch, whether that is a funnel or a flat-pack.

Team-first

Experienced in team leadership, mentoring and customer relationships across traditional and digital media.

CAREER TIMELINE

Six years building campaigns
that convert.

From social-first content programmes to owning a full SaaS marketing budget across two markets.
