Summary

My name is Izzy and I am a results driven digital marketing strategist with a passion for building meaningful connections that allow me to create growth opportunities for myself and others as a leader. With a foundation built on creativity and strategic thinking, i've honed my skills working with a prestigious brand like Estée Lauder in the past year, giving me the opportunity to take initiative in my career by working across multiple external teams while ensuring media success for my clients.

I'm not just a marketer; I'm a relentless empathizer, an agile thinker and problem-solver, and a driver of change & impact. Equipped with a strong marketing background, a mindset geared towards action and a captivating personality, I am ready to establish a lasting influence in the beauty industry. 💄
