What I'm looking for

I seek a marketing role that leverages digital and social media skills, values team leadership and community impact, and offers growth into strategy and management.

I am a marketing-focused business graduate and collegiate tennis player with experience founding and operating a community non-profit, running social and digital campaigns for a top-producing regional real estate brokerage, and coaching tennis. My leadership as a student-athlete produced team championships, individual tournament MVP honors, and taught me disciplined teamwork and competitive drive.

I combine hands-on marketing execution—content creation, trend-driven short-form video, analytics—and organizational leadership to deliver measurable awareness and engagement. I am motivated to join teams where I can apply my marketing certifications, digital skills, and mentorship experience to grow impact-driven programs and revenue.
