Human-centric marketing: I help you turn consumer insight into positioning, content and experiences people remember.

Open to marketing roles and select freelance projects.

I create ideas that bring momentum, then build the systems that make that momentum repeatable, so brands can grow in ways that last.

About Me

Strategic by nature, creative by instinct

Hi, I’m an aspiring marketing strategist from Kazakhstan, based in Toronto. I learn by doing.

I’ve rebranded TMU Toastmasters, growing engagement by 70%, and designed digital learning journeys for 12,000+ students at the Business Career Hub. Now I’m building my storytelling and experiential work at the Empire Club Foundation, the Canadian Marketing League and TMU Toastmasters.

Outside of work, I love good coffee in the morning, hot mat Pilates and staying active, and good music

I’m looking for agency and brand roles where ideas turn into results. Say hi!
