What I'm looking for

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

I am a dedicated Webinar Specialist and Project Manager with extensive experience in producing live webinars and video content. My journey has been marked by a commitment to enhancing collaboration across departments and improving workflows within the eLearning program. At BBM, I have successfully overhauled processes to ensure consistent execution of engaging eLearning events, collaborating closely with clients and internal teams to meet campaign goals.

Throughout my career, I have honed my skills in managing complex projects, coordinating speaker schedules, and executing promotional campaigns. My experience as a Virtual Event Leader has equipped me with the ability to handle technical challenges and ensure seamless event execution. I take pride in generating insightful event reports that provide key analytics to stakeholders, demonstrating my commitment to delivering measurable results.

With a background in marketing and media planning, I bring a unique perspective to my work. I have successfully managed social media campaigns, organized corporate events, and developed marketing strategies that drive engagement. I am passionate about leveraging technology to create impactful experiences and am always eager to learn and grow in my field.
