About ME

I'm a strategist with over a decade of experience in crafting compelling brand stories through data insights, social listening, copywriting, advertising and video production.

For the past three years, I was part of Google's dynamic brand marketing and engagement team, where I was their go-to expert for data analysis, cultural insights, trends, and brand strategy. For the first two years, I provided data-backed insights for some of Google’s most successful and award-winning brand campaigns. In my third year, they brought me back to develop an insights framework to guide and inform their global corporate brand strategy.

I’m now actively seeking full-time opportunities in brand strategy and cultural insights for the tech industry or entertainment media.

When I’m not at work, I am an avid podcast listener and hiker, and I live for prestige TV. In the past year I have also learned horseback riding, skiing, swimming, and soon - vertical dancing, all as part of my New Year’s commitment to do more things that scare me.

If you'd like to discuss new opportunities please feel free to reach out on LinkedIn, or come say hello at #afrotech23. I'm always open to expanding my network and having meaningful conversations.
