My Story

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me. I’m Farid Ma’ruf, a Master’s student in E-Business & Digital Marketing at Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers (CNAM) in Paris, France.

Born in Indonesia in July 1994, I’m a husband and father of two who has always believed in the power of continuous learning and meaningful connections.

My path began in healthcare. I earned an Associate’s Degree in Nursing (2013–2016) and later a Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing (2018–2021). Those years taught me emotional intelligence, clear communication under pressure, and how to support people through challenging moments; skills that still shape the way I work today.

While studying, I discovered a passion for public speaking and persuasion through competitive debating. From 2015 to 2017 I won multiple provincial and national-level competitions, served as an adjudicator, and later became a debate coach. These experiences sharpened my ability to present ideas clearly, listen actively, and bring people together around a common goal.

In 2017 I stepped into the world of communications and digital media at an Indonesian private university. Starting as Promotion & Student Admission Officer and later becoming Public Relations & Protocol Officer (2018–2025), I managed social media strategy, created engaging content and promotional videos, ran targeted campaigns, and supported high-level institutional events. I learned how to turn data into stories that actually connect with audiences and how to adapt quickly in a fast-changing digital world.

Why I’m in Paris Today

In 2024 I moved to France to pursue my Master’s at CNAM (2024–2026). This program is helping me combine my real-world experience in strategic communication with advanced knowledge in web analytics, e-commerce ecosystems, consumer behaviour, and digital strategy.

I’m currently seeking a 3–6 month internship (May–October 2026) where I can contribute my blend of practical execution skills, creativity, and cultural adaptability to dynamic digital projects.

Outside of work and study, I value cross-cultural conversations, and lifelong learning. Whether it’s improving my French, exploring Paris, or experimenting with new digital tools, I approach every day with curiosity and gratitude.

I’d love to connect if you’re looking for a proactive, results-oriented team member who brings both technical skills and genuine human insight to the table.
