About
Marketing and PR specialist with over a decade of experience — from strategy and campaigns to social media, events, copywriting and media relations. I grew a company Instagram account from zero to roughly 7,000 followers.
Recently I have been combining classic marketing with artificial intelligence, creating content and automations with AI tools I build myself. I work independently and reliably, communicate directly and stay focused on results.
