What I'm looking for

I’m looking for roles where I can run marketing and business operations together—own campaign lifecycles with KPI reporting, improve client satisfaction and referrals, and coordinate projects and stakeholders to drive revenue and scalable growth.

I coordinate projects across Electrical and Mechanical design at Furano Pacific Consulting Ltd. while directing Accounts Payable/Receivable, budgeting, and compliance. I also lead business development operations that generated over $500K in additional revenue, alongside marketing strategy and B2B visibility growth.

Before that, I managed studio production and multichannel marketing at Dead Famous Creative Ltd., running end-to-end project lifecycles from concept to completion. I oversaw social media management for three major accounts and supported business development for three subsidiary companies, improving talent recruitment with a 70% increase in signed working talent.

Earlier, I supported YMCA outdoor education and private events as an Assistant Director, including business management, program delivery, and revenue growth through partner relationships. I also led marketing and business development for two YMCA outdoor centers in the US, designing data-driven campaigns that increased program participation and facility capacity by 20% annually.
