United StatesWhat I'm looking for
Hello there,
I'm looking for a role where I can use my organizational skills, attention to detail, and ability to coordinate multiple moving parts to help a team operate more efficiently. I enjoy managing projects, working with vendors, solving logistical challenges, and taking ownership of tasks from start to finish. I'm especially interested in positions that allow me to work independently, collaborate across teams, and contribute to operational success in a fast-paced environment.
Known for my strong attention to detail, ownership, and the ability to independently drive tasks from planning through completion. I am skilled at maintaining operational records, coordinating schedules, resolving logistical challenges, and supporting team success through proactive communication and problem-solving.
I've also delivered brand-aligned display installations and led merchandising teams through store resets, coaching, and performance-focused execution. My graphic design background and technical training help me connect spatial design, data analysis, user friendly experiences, as well as create long-lasting relationships with coworkers.
