Hello! I'm Antoinette.

​

"To succeed and stay relevant in a rapidly-changing job market, you need to reinvent yourself again and again."

​

I came across this valuable piece of advice from historian Yuval Noah Harari years ago, and it has resonated with me ever since. Looking back at my journey, both personally and professionally, I can clearly see how my ability to be flexible, adapt, and remain unfazed in the face of change has benefitted me over the years.

​

I've had the fortune to call four different countries my home - each unique, with its own distinct culture and language. The significant milestones in my enriching journey have included my family's move to Germany when I was a child, my relocation to the UK for university and a subsequent career in higher education marketing, and a wonderful transition to motherhood in Italy a decade ago, where I also pivoted into content creation.

​

So, how do we navigate life's seismic shifts and transform them into stepping stones toward success? In my case, these qualities have proven indispensable:

​

Determination. I live by the creed, "If you really want something, you'll find a way to make it happen." No fuss, no excuses, no complaints.

​

Resilience. Obstacles may knock me off my path, but I will get back on it. Every single time.

​

Curiosity. For those naturally inquisitive, knowledge is at our fingertips. I learn something new every single day.

​

Self-awareness. Regular self-reflection and a firm understanding of my strengths allow me to keep my focus where it counts the most.

​

Passion. Simply put, I do what I love and I love what I do.

EXPERIENCE

EXPERIENCE
2022 - Present
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT MANAGER

For the past year, I have been working in e-commerce, a new field for me and I enjoy it hugely. As a Biz Dev Manager I make pitches to innovative third-party brands for potential partnerships. I also project-manage the go-to-market strategy for an owned brand in the lifesyle/family category.

When the pandemic hit, I had just started offering freelance services and I was lucky to be able to continue on that path providing video content consultancy, English language services, CV writing services and virtual project-management. 

2015 - 2021
DIGITAL CONTENT CREATOR

After becoming a mother, I decided to take the time to look after my young children. However, being keen on continuing to grow also professionally, I transitioned into content marketing starting with a blogging site I created "for international students by international students" and then moving to YouTube video content from 2017. I managed to build my YouTube channel from scratch to 318K subscribers today.  I also had a large Facebook page with a 90K strong community, alas it got hacked in 2022 and I lost access to it. 

In 2006, a dream came true in the form of an international role that involved a lot of travel to East and Southeast Asia! As a Senior International Officer and from 2011 the Head of International Student Recrutiment at a prestigious research university in the UK, I designed and executed student recruitment, marketing, and communication plans for lead generation and conversion. I also built and nurtured relationships with business partners, from feeder schools, to partner universities and scholarship bodies.
