What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to grow professionally, contribute to a positive team environment, and utilize my skills in customer service and management.

My career path has given me hands-on exposure to fast-paced, cross-functional environments where communication, adaptability, and strategic thinking are key to success. At 23, and currently undergoing relocation, I am seeking fully remote opportunities that align with my strengths. Across roles, I’ve consistently demonstrated strong interpersonal and customer service skills, whether I’m leading or supporting a team, or aiding clients directly. My skill set spans logistics, inventory and freight management, clerical operations, sales, and targeted marketing strategy. I have hands-on experience leveraging urgency-driven CTAs, scarcity tactics, rapport-building, and competitive positioning to boost DTC engagement and maximize product visibility through strategic schematics. In addition to frontline and leadership experience, I bring technical and administrative strengths — including POS operation, Microsoft Word and Excel proficiency, and heavy machinery experience. I also have a background in scholarship sourcing and organizational leadership, having served as Academic Chair for the Iota chapter of Kappa Sigma. My academic focus, combined with a personal investment and ongoing engagement with industry news, has fueled a strong interest in the pharmaceutical sector — where I hope to build a long-term career. I am currently pursuing TEFL and CPhT certifications to expand my qualifications further.
