International Marketing Strategist in Raleigh, NC

ABOUT ME

Over the past decade, I’ve lived, studied, and worked in France, Serbia, and the United States, experiences that have shaped the way I approach marketing: with a global mindset, cultural adaptability, and an understanding of how people make decisions across borders.

That same adaptability guides my approach to digital marketing, a field that evolves just as quickly as global markets themselves. Automation, AI, and data are reshaping how brands reach customers. I chose to build my career in digital and performance marketing because it allows companies to turn these shifts into opportunities, creating measurable growth, better customer experiences, and smarter business decisions.

I hold a Master of Science in International Business with a specialization in Marketing Analytics from SKEMA Business School on NC State University’s Centennial Campus.

I am currently an International Marketing Strategist at Go Fish Digital, where I lead paid media strategy, performance optimization, and cross-channel advertising initiatives for a portfolio of international B2B and B2C clients.

MY FOCUS for 2026

At Go Fish Digital, where I currently serve as an International Marketing Strategist, I continue to deepen my expertise in Paid Media and international campaign management. As AI and automation reshape digital advertising, my goal for 2026 is to stay ahead of these shifts and leverage emerging tools to help the organizations I work with improve performance, efficiency, and revenue growth.
