What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters collaboration, values diversity, and offers growth opportunities.

With a strong foundation in operations and admissions, I have consistently demonstrated my ability to enhance engagement efficiency and streamline workflows across various sectors, including nonprofit, academic, and hospitality. My recent role as a Recruitment and Admissions Coordinator at Girls Who Invest Inc. allowed me to partner with teams to review over 4,000 applications, achieving a remarkable 45% year-over-year growth in applications. I also developed a comprehensive database of DEI contacts that significantly improved outreach efforts.

Prior to this, I served as a Graduate Admissions Assistant at NYU, where I provided personalized support to prospective students, leading to a 95% satisfaction rate. My experience as a General Manager at Terms of Endearment further honed my operational skills, where I managed a $30K monthly budget and implemented a customer loyalty program that increased sales by $6,000 within six months. My educational background, including a Master’s in Global Hospitality Management from NYU, complements my practical experience, equipping me with the skills necessary to drive impactful initiatives.
