What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can apply data-driven market insights, analytics, and cross-functional leadership to drive growth, impact decision-making, and progress toward strategic responsibilities in a collaborative, learning-focused environment.

I am an MBA professional with over five years of combined experience across sales, marketing, consumer research, and business analytics, dedicated to data-driven strategy and operational excellence.

I have hands-on retail leadership experience achieving consistent monthly sales targets and implementing loss-prevention measures that improved store profitability, along with training and onboarding new staff.

As a graduate research assistant I conducted data-driven research on global market trends and foreign direct investment decision-making, building analytical models and visualizations in Excel and Tableau to inform strategic recommendations.

I have led marketing and community initiatives, executing campaigns and events that mobilized resources at scale, and I actively develop my personal brand and portfolio through content creation and professional learning.
