Rod Oppong

I am a business student at the University of Surrey, pursuing a degree in business, management, and marketing, with a passion for digital communication and media. In July 2022, I completed a certification program in digital marketing strategy and brand management at IÉSEG School of Management, where I learned how to create and execute effective online campaigns and events.

Currently, I am working as a digital marketing intern. I help the company increase sales and engagement by creating and managing content for social media, blogs, newsletters, and webinars. I also collaborate with other interns and managers to develop and implement new strategies and initiatives to grow the brand and reach new audiences.

My goal is to make an impact in the world and inspire the youth to succeed in life, no matter their background, but with the combination of desire, faith, and hard work. I have been actively involved in different jobs and volunteer activities since an early age, where I gained valuable skills and experience in administration, finance, economics, tourism, and sales. I have also lived and studied in Ghana, Italy, and the United Kingdom, which has enriched my cultural awareness and adaptability.

I am always motivated and seeking opportunities to learn and grow as a professional and as a person.
