What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead client relationships and operations, drive revenue growth, and execute events/projects within a collaborative, growth-focused company that values process improvement and cross-functional leadership.

I am a strategic account and operations leader with over eight years of experience driving revenue growth, managing high-value client relationships, and executing complex initiatives across sales, events, and cross-functional teams. I am entrepreneurial, results-driven, and skilled at creating structure in fast-moving environments.

As a founder and director of operations, I oversaw revenue strategy, vendor partnerships, and full pop-up event execution while leading budgeting, forecasting, and financial reconciliation to ensure profitability. In account and project roles I have managed multiple concurrent client engagements, maintained high retention, and delivered projects on time with strong client satisfaction.

I thrive in roles that require building trust quickly, negotiating vendor agreements, resolving operational challenges in real time, and improving processes to protect timelines and budgets. I bring discretion, urgency, and a collaborative cross-functional approach to every initiative.
