Let's Work Together

Open to consulting, teaching or full-time remote roles across time zones.

"Data Shapes Campaigns, But Humans Drive Them"

I’m Amanda—a marketer-educator who believes the best strategies live at the intersection of spreadsheets and heartbeats.

With 10+ years of scaling brands like Jago Coffee and mentoring 500+ professionals and students, I’ve mastered blending data-driven precision with cultural intuition—because no algorithm replaces human connection.

My dual background in Education (B.Ed) and Entrepreneurship (MBA) fuels my unique edge: teaching how to wield AI without losing the human pulse.

Now, I seek remote roles to absorb global perspectives and reinvest them where they matter most—because growth should be both strategic and soulful.

P.S. My superpower? Turning ‘cultural confusion’ into creative campaigns.
