What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role that fosters growth, collaboration, and innovative project management.

I am a results-driven professional with over 6 years of experience in event planning and team leadership, complemented by more than 3 years in sales and 1 year in marketing. My career has taken me across various countries, including Germany, Mexico, Indonesia, Romania, and the Netherlands, where I have successfully led cross-functional teams and executed large-scale events for over 20,000 attendees. I am recognized for my strategic planning abilities, business acumen, and my commitment to delivering impactful results.

In my recent role as a Marketing and Sales Intern in Indonesia, I closed over 35 prospects and developed a comprehensive three-year marketing plan aimed at increasing revenue by 10%. As a Business Strategist Analyst Intern in the Netherlands, I crafted a market-entry strategy for a new market, showcasing my analytical skills and strategic mindset. My experience as a Project Manager for a non-governmental organization in Romania allowed me to lead a team of 10 leaders and over 300 volunteers, successfully delivering the largest family festival that united more than 50 local communities.
