Marketing and Hospitality are the two words that epitomise my professional journey.

I earned a double Bachelor degree in Hospitality Management at Glion, one of the leading hospitality business universities in the world. I graduated with distinction with a Master of International Marketing from Hult in London. These degrees are unique in a way that the skills acquired perfectly compliment each other and can be applied in various industries and jobs.

Marketing and Hospitality have intertwined throughout my entire professional journey and helped me get to where I am today.

At my first full-time job, in London, I coordinated marketing activities across the UK and EMEA at an international beauty retail company, Crabtree & Evelyn. The next chapter of my life began in Vienna, where I managed a retail concept store project across Europe at a luxury hotel group, Almanac Hotels.

Since July 2022, I lead an Events & Partnerships team at the biggest hotel in Austria, The Social Hub Vienna, organising events and activities with an amazing network of local partners and brand ambassadors.
