About
A marketer who learned by building.
My marketing career started in 2011 while studying engineering. My first experience was working behind the scenes of websites, starting with copywriting and gradually expanding into SEO, website management, banner design, photography, image editing, and digital content.
That early experience shaped the way I approach marketing today. I became interested not only in what customers see, but also in the systems, technology, data, and processes behind it.
I later moved into digital content and marketing roles while travelling through Europe and the United States, and eventually moved to Canada to study Marketing, Research & Analytics at Centennial College.
Alongside my career, I also built an Amazon business and educational platform. Over approximately three years, I generated more than $355K in Amazon sales and coached more than 200 clients through courses and one-on-one training.
From there, I moved into professional marketing leadership roles, managing teams, websites, campaigns, CRM systems, SEO, e-commerce, partnerships, events, content, analytics, and marketing technology.
Today, I combine that experience with AI and automation through my own business, AIRE Solutions.
Now I'm looking to bring everything I've learned across marketing, technology, business development, leadership, and entrepreneurship into my next marketing leadership role.
From engineering to marketing leadership.
My career hasn't followed a straight line. It has been a continuous process of learning new technology, building businesses, leading people, and understanding how marketing connects to revenue and customer behaviour.

Engineering mindset. Marketing career.
I started my education in engineering, but my career kept pulling me toward marketing, technology, communication, and business.
That combination became an important part of how I think. I don't see marketing only as advertising, content, or campaigns. I naturally think about systems, processes, data, technology, customer behaviour, automation, and how each part connects to the business.
It allows me to communicate with both creative and technical teams and understand complex products without losing sight of the customer.
Education
Engineering taught me how to think.
Marketing taught me how to grow businesses.
My career sits at the intersection of both. My engineering background gives me a technical and analytical mindset, while my marketing education and hands-on experience have allowed me to apply that mindset to growth, digital marketing, technology, sales, automation, and business development.
