What I'm looking for

I seek a role leveraging property management, marketing, or operations where I can drive client satisfaction, improve processes, and grow with a collaborative team.

I am a dynamic, bilingual professional with over 8 years of cross-functional experience across property management, sales, marketing, customer service, and entrepreneurship. As a co-founder and Co-Director, I led marketing and product design initiatives, managed supplier relationships, handled invoicing and quality control, and designed websites and graphics using SITE123, Canva and Adobe Illustrator to deliver strong customer experiences and business growth.

My background includes portfolio and community management, rental agency operations, and insurance sales where I consistently met targets and improved processes. I bring strong interpersonal, organizational, and leadership skills, a proven track record in client relationship management, and renewed energy after a recent six-month career break focused on adaptability and professional growth.
