What I'm looking for

I seek roles that leverage travel operations and digital marketing skills, offering autonomy, varied projects, and opportunities to apply vendor management, data-driven decisions, and creative campaign work.

I am a value-creator and self-motivated professional with experience across travel operations, digital marketing, and sales. I currently work as a freelance Travel Planner and Digital Marketer, independently handling travel planning, campaign design, and project delivery.

My background includes roles such as Senior Executive (Travel) and state representative, inbound tour executive, and operations executive with established travel firms, giving me hands-on expertise in vendor management, contracting, costing, and invoicing. I pair operational rigor with customer-focused delivery.

I hold an MBA in Travel and Leisure and a Digital Marketing certification, and I am proficient with MS Office, email applications, and CMS platforms including WordPress, Wix, and Weebly. I routinely design creatives, run social media and email marketing, and manage data for reporting and insights.

I bring a practical, resourceful approach to projects, blending travel industry knowledge with digital marketing and data management to deliver measurable outcomes and scalable processes.
