As a Public Relations professional with over 3 years of experience, I specialise in building and executing high-impact PR strategies that drive growth and engagement across global markets. My expertise spans event management, international partnerships, crisis management, and digital PR, having worked with renowned brands like Red Bull and Ocean Beverages. At SRM Institute of Science and Technology, I led the PR team, scaling it from 12 to 1,200 members and orchestrating landmark events that saw exponential growth in audience engagement, including the first-ever alumni roadshow and flagship event Horizon. I've successfully navigated stakeholder relations, handled VIPs and dignitaries with precision, and delivered seamless experiences even in high-pressure environments. I am passionate about creating innovative strategies that elevate brand presence through experiential marketing, social media engagement, and corporate partnerships. I thrive on challenges and seek opportunities to make an impact in the dynamic PR landscape.
