Summary

Having completed my bachelor's degree in marketing at Curtin University, I decided to pursue an Msc in International marketing at the university of Dundee, graduating with merit. Additionally I have worked at Msj Unicorn, one of the biggest healthcare firms in Mauritius. I was part of their marketing team over a period of seven months. Moreover, I also undertook a two months internship is Lisbon at Bamble, an artificial intelligence startup. I'm proud of the fact that despite my young age I've been able to achieve a good mix of work and academic experience. I want to further expand my craft by undertaking more advanced studies.
