Creative Marketing and Communication Strategist
I founded BrownSkinStories, an Instagram blog where I share beauty and skincare content with a scientific edge. Beyond that, I’ve worked on content marketing for Local Meal and Cerina Health, producing videos, social media strategy, and compelling copywriting. At AstraZeneca India & UK, I contributed to internal communications liaising with creative agency, refining my ability to engage diverse audiences and stakeholders in healthcare.
Currently, I work as a Account Executive, managing biotech, life sciences clients with a focus on media strategy, project management, and securing features in leading outlets. From drafting press releases to delivering high-impact presentations (which I love!), I thrive on creating meaningful connections.
I also enjoy experimenting with 3D design, exploring food and culture, and working on a side project—writing food and experience microblogs. Always curious, always creating—let’s connect!
