    With three years of Marketing experience - developed largely through on-the-job learning - I decided to further hone my skills with a short Digital Marketing course in 2022. The program provided me with a further understanding of key terminology and concepts, which has been beneficial for the work I'm doing now at a Mining software firm. Looking ahead, however; I’m eager to explore new products and industries as part of more expanded professional growth opportunities.
