We are extremely proud to announce that our very own Senior Marketing Consultant, Kara has been shortlisted in this year’s Digital Women Awards!
Kara has been shortlisted for the Digital Women Role Model of the Year Award, which aims to recognise and uplift women who use their own time, knowledge and experience to motivate others and inspire them to reach their full potential by overcoming any obstacles that stand in their way.
Since relocating to the U.K. to join her husband and graduating with a B.A in Public Relations in 2017, Kara has built an enviable career for herself, gaining a wealth of marketing and SEO experience in a variety of different industries.
