Hi! I am Asima Connolly.
I’m an aspiring digital marketing expert, creative writer, content creator, and beyond!
Who I Am
I’m Asima Connolly.
I’m a creative individual with a BA degree in English and Media, and I am now seeking to pursue a career in digital marketing/paid media.
I have acquired knowledge and experience from completing internships/placements, and I want to further develop my skills.
In my spare time, I like to channel my creativity by writing short stories, creating music, and learning new skills.
Currently I work as a freelancer Marketing Assistant for TyreZone, where I’ve been enhancing my knowledge about SEO and the fundamentals of digital marketing!
My Career
I have completed various placements and creative internships to build my work experience and expand my knowledge. I participated in a digital marketing internship with Mindless Academy and flourished as a Radio Host last year with Innovation Nottinghamshire and Takeover Radio 106.9.
Moreover, I have international experience living and working in both Canada and Taiwan, developing cultural awareness and acquiring new skills. During my time in Taiwan, I focussed on both learning Mandarin and tutoring students in English. I adapted well into Taiwanese society and explored the culture as I love to learn about our world.
Some of the works I have completed can be found in my portfolio. These consist of snippets I produced for Takeover Radio 106.9, blog posts for Mindless Blog, and more.
Education
My deep-rooted love for storytelling and passion for media is what motivated me to pursue a degree in English and Media.
The three years I studied at Nottingham Trent University helped in shaping my younger, impressionable self to become the inquisitive person I am today.
Through studying this course, I developed an interest in marketing and I am now pursuing this by working as a passionate Marketing Assistant!
Creative Writing Projects
Creative writing is my very first love. I was 7 years old when I discovered this passion. It has stuck with me since.
I was always the child who stayed behind to read stories and novels, often finding myself lost in fantasy worlds and different lives. It was impossible to get me out of the trance once I was in.
My ultimate goal as a writer is to inspire others to search deeper within themselves, and continue the introspective journey towards self-discovery and acceptance.
While I am not a published author yet, I am keen on writing short projects during my spare time.
