Additionally, my active involvement in organising and participating in events has broadened my experience and network. These diverse experiences have equipped me with a robust skill set, ready to take on new challenges and opportunities in the business world

I have held several impactful roles across various organizations, gaining extensive experience in marketing, public relations, business development, and event coordination.

At Yardstick Marketing Solutions in Dubai, I served as a Marketing and PR Intern, where I promoted Kings Brand by pitching to media outlets, creating and executing marketing campaigns for brands such as Ajmal Perfumes and Little Things, and compiling comprehensive databases with relevant information.

In my role as a Marketing & Growth Intern at Orpheuss Financials, I managed and implemented growth strategies using funnel techniques, organized company events attended by over 50 industry professionals, and launched and managed the company's LinkedIn page to attract B2B clients for SME lending purposes.

During my internship at Westford University College, I developed and managed a CRM system specifically for student admissions, generated leads through personal networks and channels, and conducted effective telesales campaigns to drive admissions.

Additionally, I have experience as a Quiz Host for Byjus, where I hosted and managed online quizzes for over 50 prospective students and collaborated with the marketing team to enhance quiz engagement and effectiveness.

As a host coordinator for COP28 UAE, I was an integral part of the response team, assisting the supervisor in managing a team of over 20 hosts. At the Dubai Food Forums, I helped manage events, coordinated with guests and university students, and handled the social media account to increase visibility through the Tribo app.

I recently graduated with a BSc (Hons) in Business Management with Finance from Westford University College, a journey that has been incredibly transformative for me both personally and professionally. During my time at Westford, I had the privilege of serving as the Student Council Vice President for two years. This role taught me invaluable lessons in leadership, teamwork, and effective communication. One of my proudest moments was being awarded Student Council Leader of the Year, a recognition of my dedication and the positive impact I made.

In my final year, I took on the role of Council Mentor, where I had the opportunity to guide and support the next generation of student leaders. This experience deepened my appreciation for mentorship and the importance of nurturing potential in others.

Leading the Entrepreneurship Club was another highlight of my time at Westford. I was able to inspire and guide fellow students who were passionate about starting their own ventures. Organizing events and activities that encouraged innovation and business acumen was incredibly rewarding. Winning the Curtin Business Challenge and the Skyline EUSMASS Business Pitch Competition were particularly gratifying experiences, as they allowed me to showcase my ability to develop and present compelling business ideas.These diverse experiences at Westford University College have equipped me with a robust foundation in leadership, teamwork, and entrepreneurship. I feel well-prepared to take on new challenges and contribute effectively to any team, driven by the lessons and skills I’ve acquired during my academic journey.
