What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative environment that values creativity and growth.

I am a dedicated marketing professional with a Bachelor of Business Administration from Howard University, where I was recognized on the Dean’s List and became a member of The National Society of Collegiate Scholars. My academic background has equipped me with a solid foundation in marketing principles, which I have successfully applied in various roles throughout my career.

In my most recent position as a Community Support Consultant at The Resource Group, I led project management initiatives, coordinating resources and implementing improvement strategies that enhanced project outcomes. My experience as an Executive Analyst Intern further honed my skills in collaboration and communication, where I supported executive teams and developed organizational tools that streamlined operations.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a strong ability to adapt and thrive in fast-paced environments. I am passionate about fostering relationships and driving results through effective project management and strategic planning. I am eager to bring my expertise to a dynamic team where I can contribute to impactful marketing initiatives.
