What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic role that allows me to leverage my digital marketing expertise while fostering a collaborative and innovative company culture.

I am a seasoned digital marketing strategist with a strong background in video production and campaign management. Over the past several years, I have successfully created digital video templates and advertising for various clients while managing a large volume of Search Engine Marketing campaigns. My expertise in Google and Microsoft Advertising, along with my ability to analyze campaign performance, has consistently driven optimal results for my clients.

Prior to my current role, I held various positions in sales and customer service, where I honed my skills in inventory management, team leadership, and customer engagement. My experience at RadioShack, where I progressed from a Sales Representative to Store Manager, equipped me with the ability to coach staff and apply advanced sales techniques effectively. I am passionate about delivering exceptional customer experiences and thrive in fast-paced environments.
