What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my project management skills in a dynamic environment, fostering collaboration and innovation while contributing to organizational success.

I am a dedicated Community Manager Intern at Sand Technologies, with a strong background in technology, education, and project management. My experience includes managing a vibrant community of over 18,000 learners, where I successfully implemented strategies that led to an 18% increase in graduation rates. My role involves troubleshooting, guiding, and fostering engagement among learners, ensuring they achieve their educational goals.

Previously, I served as a Creative Director at Terrie Thread Tailoring, where I led innovative design concepts and strategic growth initiatives. My commitment to quality and market presence has allowed me to build long-term client relationships while delivering unique fashion collections. Additionally, my experience as a Talent Acquisition Manager with AIESEC honed my skills in recruitment, training, and fundraising, significantly enhancing organizational effectiveness.
