What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster innovation, collaboration, and professional growth.

I am a self-motivated business professional with a Bachelor of Science in Business Management from Iowa State University’s Ivy College of Business. My journey has been marked by a strong passion for innovation, sales, and relationship-building, which has enabled me to develop a proven track record in project coordination, client engagement, and business operations.

In my recent role as a Program Coordinator at LANDWERX, I successfully coordinated client meetings, built collaborative partnerships, and drove engagement efforts that significantly increased farmer participation in innovative programs. My entrepreneurial mindset was honed while running my own successful small business, where I managed full-cycle operations and achieved remarkable customer growth.
