Digital Marketing Manager
Health Innovations of America · Al Kheesa, Qatar
Leading healthcare digital marketing — strategy, lead funnel optimization, team mentorship using Google Analytics, HubSpot, SEMrush, and Wordstream.

Everything started with a film camera I was asked to maneuver during a high school event — a spark that ignited a creative curiosity that would define my entire career.

After earning my BS in Information Technology from Saint Paul University Philippines (1998–2002), a career twist led me to iWebmasters as a Junior Media Manager — editing movie trailers, color grading footage, and coding HTML/CSS for offshore clients.

In 2008, I relocated to Oman, joining the University of Technology and Applied Sciences (UTAS) where I spent 15 years as a Laboratory Technician and Front-end Developer. I administered Windows Server 2016/2022 environments, managed MySQL databases and IIS applications, built websites, and managed all university social media channels.

"Oman has a lot of beautiful spots and being a photo enthusiast, it is an honor and a great privilege for me to capture the scenic spots of this country."

— TheWeek Magazine, October 2012

By 2009, I had joined the Philippine Expat Photographers – Oman and acquired my first DSLR: a Canon 7D. My photography was published 11+ times in TheWeek Magazine, and I won Third Prize in their Valentine's Heart Shape Photo Contest.

Now based in Lusail, Qatar, I serve as Digital Marketing Manager at Health Innovations of America — driving growth through data-driven strategy, lead funnel optimization, and multi-channel content execution.
