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!
